Even a little birdie needs a thorough shower once in a while! Such a rare scene was captured by a Twitterati recently.
The Twitter user who goes by the username @Neish397 posts pictures of birds and animals on his account regularly. In the latest catch, he spotted a mini owl spreading its wings and stretching its feathers to give it a nice overall wash during a heavy pour.

The user also added another clip and informed the Twitter fam that the owlet had showered for a full five minutes. “It showered for at least 5 mins moving from a dumpster to the fence post and never shock itself just flew up into trees. Minutes later back eating a mouse. It was absolutely tipping it down (sic)”.
