I just caught Kappa bathing in her water dish. At first I thought the flapping might be her masturbating on the side of the cage, and then I realized she was thrusting her chest and head into the water and was probably flapping to try and throw the water around, although her wings weren't actually going into the water. I think she's a little insane b/c I'm cold enough I have a down throw wrapped around me. But I also think it's awesome to see her wanting to bathe finally. :) Of course, that now means I'm going to have to consider whether she's soiling her water too much - and it probably explains some of the gunk I've been finding in her water dish occasionally. The feathers right over her beak were so wet they looked black, and had parted to the side so it looked like she had a bad haircut, with her skin showing underneath! :-P
