Title: Carrier Pigeons, the daily bath
Caption: Carrier Pigeons, the daily bath. They bathe daily and dry off in the sunshine. The bath pan must be kept filled with cool fresh water in the summer time. Birds of this type "demand" a clean, cool bath at least once every day if the weather is favorable. In this case the pan is placed on top of the loft, many lofts are equipped with running water bathing systems on the inside.
