Question

How many times do you bath your bird in a week ?

Answer 1

i give mine a bath once a day or every other day. helps cut down on the dander and smell.

Answer 2

Every day! I use a spray bottle. Only one of my birds enjoys to slosh in a plate or bowl by herself. The others are more particuar- and one likes a bath in the shower with a light spray from the adjustable showerhead.



Sometimes more then 4 times a day in summer when it's really hot and soak them to the bone each time, but every three days durring later Fall to later Winter- just enough to dampen the outer feathers- and that is the time they all get misted by a spray bottle to prevent getting a chill.



I use just water mostly, but during moulting season, I spray with a mixture of pure aloe Vera juice (fresh from a health-food store) and Witch Hazle. This will not harm your bird if ingested, and it helps to disinfect and calm skin irritation from those nasty little pinfeathers.

Answer 4

you dont bathe your bird the bird will do it on its own all you do is put a bowl of water in there and it will do it and you dont have to do it very often just once a week or so you are likely to rip out lots of their feathers if you try to bathe them

Answer 5

Your bird can decide that for himself/herself. Just let your bird have continuous access to the bath, and let nature settle this question.

Answer 6

You don't bath a bird!

Answer 7

Oh you are talking about spraying them with a mist bottle at lest 2 times a month.

Answer 8

I dont need to bathe them, they can do it by themselves. I just put in a large bowl of clean water and when they are done throwing it everywhere I dump whatever is left of it.
