    It does. I love how the bird appears somewhat neurotic, like it wants to make sure that no one is watching as it frolics in its "bathtub". So cute! Posted 7 years ago

      Similar to a dog staring intensely at its owner when taking a dump lol. I think it is because it is a vulnerable moment where they have to let their guard down, and they're not comfortable doing so. Posted 7 years ago

        Haha! Yes, my cats get a similar look when I accidentally walk past the litter box when they are in there. Posted 7 years ago
