Bathing keeps your pet bird happy & healthy

Frequently parrot lovers ask us how often they should bath their pet bird and how they should do it.

Kookaburra Bird Shop bathes their birds everyday first thing in the morning. This provides the birds with stimulation and keeps their feathers clean. We use warm filtered water in a mist bottle that has never been used for anything but water. I suggest you label your bird's mist bottle so that you don't accidentally bath your bird with something other than water.

During winter months we may bath the birds here multiple times a day because the air becomes very dry with the heater on. We usually have the last misting around 3 PM so that they do not get chilled while sleeping.

You can bath your bird in their cage or use a shower perch and mist them in your shower. If you are going to mist in the shower, please take your bird in a couple times so he will be comfortable with his new surroundings.
