Grooming :)

I found this really interesting, I've seen them cleaning before but never this close!

Good photography Gayle !!!

My Avic sp have done this often after splashing around in the water bowl, seems they like to maintain themselves more than other genus, very rarely see other arboreals cleaning so meticulously.
