Budgie bath

Gracy loves his daily bath. He started in a cup when he was smaller, now he swims in this bowl!

Our Budgies liked tap water, just room temperature. Our Canaries liked ice cubes in their water. Soon as you put the ice in the water they would jump in!

so sweet... i wonder why my budgie's dont like to take bath...the live in huge indoor aviary , i can see the finches bathing but not the budgies...wonder why

[giantd]

Maybe they feel threatened if there are a lot of birds in the aviary. They need to feel safe to get all wet. Good luck!

How do u git ur bird to like baths? Cuz My Birds Trust Me aNd Go Out NN PLaY oUtsiDe the CAge wiff Me All The Time but Der ABSOLUTY scared of water and baths!

[giantd]

Not sure. The other one we had wanted to get in the water sooo bad, but he just couldn't muster the courage to get in. We tried everything.............

I enjoyed watching your video:)

cute (but never fill the dish with that much water, and get a dish with a grooved bottom to prevent slipping, if they slip they will NEVER want to take a bath again)

Oh what a pretty whitish bird!!

omg that's so cute! i have a budgie too.. he had a bath in a glass of water the other day lol was that water cold?

Im subscribing!

[mmkkpphidd]

omg that is sooo cute! did you use warm water??

[giantd]

@spinerling -Something may startle the bird and he might forget about the fan-that would be awful. If it's that hot, maybe get a small box fan or one with a guard around the blade. I wouldn't let it blow on him though, he might get sick. Good Luck!

[spinerling]

@giantd My bird Buzz, he is very friendly so i leave the fan on because it can be very hot and he know not to fly near it. Should i turn it off though, just incase?

[spinerling]

Nawww Gracy is adorable, My bird buzz does the same thing but under a tap. He runs around like a spazzo and then complains cos he is wet. lol

I have some vids if you would like to see him :D

@TheVaNiLLaCuPcAkE Mine prefers showers. I let the tap run with lukewarm water (try to get the same as temperature room so your bird doesnt catch a cold)

Then I let it run around it a little, it should be curious about the water. Then I splash a little bit of water around him and a little bit on him. It should hop on your hand to go see the water you need to be patient (all budgies are different tho but they usually like water). My tap is shiny and that helps too, it sees reflection. :)
