Answer #1

Hi barbarina,

The best bird bath is a good, freshwater rinse or a misting from a spray bottle. Commercial sprays are available that have ingredients to soften plumage, soothe dry skin, and deodorize.

Because soap removes the natural oils from feathers, dries the skin, and is difficult to rinse off, it should be avoided altogether.

Birds have a body temperature of about 105°F, maintained in large part by their feathers. To avoid chilling your bird, use lukewarm to room temperature water for baths. During the bath, and while the bird is drying, be sure that the room is warm and that there are no drafts. Try to bathe your bird early in the day so that she will be completely dry before she goes to sleep.

Here’s a picture of special mister that can be used to bathe birds.

Good luck.
