 Bath for Bixby - LP Zoo

Bixby, eastern screech owl, does do

A take a shower exercise

Here at home in Lincoln Park Zoo.

Owls have good hygiene - no surprise!

The keepers turn on misters that

Give Bixby opportunity

To shower in her habitat.

Perched and spreading her wings, she

Does give her feathers a good spray.

And when with showering she's done,

Bixby does simply fly away,

And then dries off under the sun.

A shower now and again, yup,

Is how Bixby gets owl cleaned up.
