(actually I've only ever seen King Parrots bathe by splashing about in tree canopies while it's raining. I suspect this baby is just hunkering down and enduring the rain rather than deliberately bathing)

PBS is still alive.
It may be down, but it’s not out.
To keep it from ever being out, donate to your local station if you can.
You’ll be able to do so here: pbs.org/donate.
