Our Eclectus Parrot. Is about 7 Months Old Now. He is already Talking which is rare at that age but he can talk.... 

He Loves to have a spray bottle filled with warm water once a week as a bath...

Some birds love to bath more than others, but yes it is good and normal for Rocco to be in his water bowl. Other vids on youtube show eclectus taking showers together, just don't spray them with water directly because water can get up their "nose", but a dip in a shallow sink or nice shower is always loved. Rocco looks great, where'd you get your companion parrot?

Several baths per week are good - do this early in the day so the feathers dry and he isn't cold and wet when he goes to bed. You can even use a hair dryer to dry him if he likes it! The bath might only last 30 seconds to a minute or two. Towel him off a little and then he will spend the next hour or more preening and rearranging his feathers. Google "Land of Vos" for more eclectus information.

Your bird and dog are very pretty. Thanks for sharing the video.

It might take a full year before he talks - and he might not ever, but he is still young so you'll have to be patient.

If your bird likes water - you can give him a bowl of water, bathe him in the sink, or let him take a shower. You might not want to leave the bowl in his cage for safety reasons.
