In the hot Summer months I put the nozzel on mist on the garden hose and take the cage out side and hose the cage down first, then mist the birds they love it.
What a great idea! How long did it take for them to get in there because mine is so afraid of water and other rooms because he's always in his with the spray bottle for a shower.
They have always enjoyed the shower. What you could do is just put a perch in your bathroom and everytime you take a shower put your bird in with you without getting him/her wet. That way your cockatiel can get used to the bathroom and water noise. You can also get your cockatiel used to other rooms by moving their cage around or I just let mine come with me on the shoulder quite frequently.
Thanks, I'll try bringing him in the bathroom more and get him a shower perch. I take him in when I "go" to the washroom and he mimics the noise! Wish I could video that somehow!
I believe I just sent you a video of "my lutino tiel Rockey" having his shower in my room.
Those two really love having a shower. when ever we give our budgie a shower he dosn't "talk" to us for at least half an hour afterwards.

Have you got a hair water spray bottle? If so, fill that up with warm water and spray the bird like that - mine loves it!

Really enjoyed your vid; very creative and helpful. I always knew there was a better way than a spray bottle because they really love getting wet!
