Most parrots love to bathe, which softens dirt on the feathers and skin and encourages preening.
If you bathe your parrot regularly, you will notice that their feathers will begin to waterproof, become shine, due to preening.
Bathing is important for parrots, skin can become dry and itchy leading to plucking, if not bath often enough.
It’s also important that any pollutants be removed from the bird’s feathers so that it doesn’t ingest any toxic stuff while preening. During the summer you can bathe and soak your parrots down to the skin 3 times a week. During winter you want to have a warm place for them to dry off.
Spray bottles, a bowl, shower are all great ways to shower them.
Don’t use any soap or bathing products.
