London's picturesque lake serves as the perfect backdrop for this avian spa session. Despite the chilly February temperatures, our feathered friend fearlessly embraces nature's elements to ensure it stays impeccably clean. This charming display showcases not only the bird's dedication to personal hygiene but also its adaptability to survive even in harsh conditions.
