What if, we put tiny bird in bird bath?

In reality, Baked Beans had just refused a mist shower (something birds often like) and instead decided to jump into the water bowl after the keepers left.

For reference, here's a picture of Tony the Tawny Frogmouth getting a mist bath.
He is not, in fact an owl. He is from Australia and is a type of nightjar, a family shared by whippoorwills.
I adore tawny frogmouths. They look like Muppets. When they're not doing anything and want you to mind your own business, that act like a vertical log. And are very good at it.

A bird that looks very much like an owl is perched on a branch in a hunched position with its wings down and outspread. It just finished getting a mist bath. It is a grey coloring with darker grey brown on its wings. It has a VERY large wide beak. Honestly it looks like a Muppet.

BIRTHDAY TIME!

Everyone please wish #BakedBeansOwl a happy first birthday!!!
The keepers have made this lovely hat for bird birthdays. Beans didn't seem to mind the hat, but he was was a bit grumpy about having to go out in public and meet people.

If anyone would like send a birthday present his way, the best thing you can do is support your local zoo, animal hospital, or conservation group. If you'd like to donate to Beans's zoo, here's a link below

Beans is looking ruffled and grumpy as usual. He's standing on a glove with stars and owls on it. — A tiny screech owl wearing a yellow cone-shaped party hat made from a foam sheet.

You ever had a bad hair day?
How about a bad hair month?

That's right, Beans is molting (but just his head) so he looks really funny right now.

Beans the owl sitting on the glove of a keeper. He's looking off to the right and his normally beautifully rufous feathered head is patchy and greyish, with little brown feathers sticking out at odd angles

My friends, I have heard it is #Owltober. Which means y'all are due for a #BakedBeansOwl update!
Here he is out on a walk. Still looks a bit scruffy from molting but it's starting to come back in.
