| Taking a Bath Robins bathe whenever water is available, including in the winter. They clean their feathers by splashing around in ponds, mud puddles, melted snow, bird baths, and lawn sprinklers. They fluff up their feathers to let water through to their skin and then shake to get the water off. A robin typically takes many short baths rather than one long soak. If the feathers got too wet, the robin would have trouble flying. |
