Bathing has an effect on the feathering; it breaks up the old oil that protects the birds from the weather. there is no doubt that this happens by changing the skin temperature, which seems to cause a humidifying effect between the feathers. have you noticed that once your pigeons have taken a bath they will preen themselves, carefully extracting oil from the oil gland at the base of the tail and applying it to other feathers? at this time, you would find it harder to wet a pigeon after it had taken a bath than a week previously because, of course, the oil on the feathers is very fresh. This is why, if you have sometimes noticed when you send the birds to the channel and they encounter a lot of rain, you don’t see them again. because they cannot fly when they are soaked with rain, they keep going lower and lower from the weight and eventually drown. it’s sad, but it’s true.
