It looks that way, but actually they're preening. They splash water all over themselves to wash away dirt and bugs, then they sort of squeegee out the left over water and reapply an thin topcoat of oil. Plus they get all the little barbs in each feather to line up right against each other. Fun to watch.

Funny scene. The front ones are all picking at themselves.

Is this the equivalent of Roman baths? V
