My flock seems to enjoy a shower when the weather's a little on the cool side as much they do when it's hot. But when it's not warm I don't like to keep them outside very long with wet feathers because I'm afraid they'll get chilled. So I bring them inside where it's warmer shortly after the shower.
When spring hits us and the weather is somewhat sunny I start putting baths in the aviary. I do that in the mornings and not more than 2 hours.
In the mornging to give them time to dry up and not go into a cold night wet.
Only 2 hours cause I don't want them to start drinking from the (dirty) bathwater (they pooped in)...
But since my birds are outside all the time I guess Vitamin D is not an issue for me.
