Day Five: Feathery and Fierce

When I was vacationing in Cape Cod, I loved to watch the seagulls bathing.

They would dip their duck-like grey-and-white bodies under the surf and come up flapping and shaking, clearly delighted with themselves for finding such a great vast tub to bathe in.

But while tubs are fine and all, if you want to look really feathery and fierce, it’s all about the shower.

With a shower spray, you can precisely hone in on the exact feather groups that need revitalizing.

While showering, it is good to have an assistant to help you position yourself under the spray (typically a large featherless being is good for this sort of task).

Then when you are finished you can sit on your perch (which used to just hold towels – what a waste!) and air dry au naturel for the freshest, fiercest feathery look.
