Many parrot breeders wonder whether it is necessary to bathe their birds.
Let's look into the intricacies of bathing procedures for birds.
Do you need to bathe a parrot?
In nature, parrots take care of their own cleanliness, but in city apartments this opportunity is limited for them.
Therefore, it is possible and even necessary to bathe birds when it comes to summer, otherwise your parrot risks getting heat stroke.
In addition, during bathing, the pet gets rid of dirt and dust, and during shedding, water can reduce itching.
How to bathe a parrot
A bird raised in captivity does not know how to bathe on its own, so it needs to be accustomed to bathing procedures.
To take a bath, you need to get a special bath, the size of which depends on the size of your bird.
The water must be warm, since the bird's body temperature drops quickly during bathing.
And don’t forget to dry your bird immediately after water treatments to eliminate the risk of catching a cold.
