I agree, kids love the rain. I send mine out with rubber boots and umbrellas (with no thunder or lightning of course). They have a ball! I think its refreshing to critters, like a "theres no other option" bath.
I thought all birds enjoyed a good rain also. I was also under the impression that birds had protective oils in the skin and downy feathers to help keep them from getting soaked to the skin
Outside temps are warm and I don't worry about them too much, I let them play, but I would never let...
