Pigeons LOVE to bath. I get a cheap drip dish that you can get to put your flower pot in. About a dollar as big around as you can. Only put about an inch of water because I've heard of pigeons drowning from others trying to get into the bath too and pushing them down under water. My dish is only about 2" tall but holds plenty of water to get them clean. They really do love it.

You need to have something like a flower pot base and fill it with about 1 1/2 - 2 inches full and only give it to them once every 4 days about. They will love you for it!

NYCE,Juan Add a tablespoon of Epsom Salts to their water. It will make their whites even whiter! ;-)
