every how of often do you have to give a bird a bath?

Answers:
Misting a bird with a fine mist spray bottle, daily, is a good idea for larger parrots. For smaller birds, like canaries, budgies, etc., just provide them with a bird bath that is sold at pet stores or put a heavy, but small bowl in the bottom of the cage with warm, not hot or cold, water in it. Test the temperature of the water by putting a couple of drops on the back your wrist. You can do this with the smaller birds a couple of times a week. Be sure to take out the bath when they are done or the water becomes cold.

The bird will bathe itself if you place a small bowl of water in the bottom of it's cage.

My vet told me a minimum of once a week. My conures could bathe three times a day if they had the chance, so I offer a water bowl for that purpose. The little stinkers foul it after half an hour so in reality they bathe three to four times a week. Most parrots can be bathed three times a week though more is certainly useful, especially if a bird plucks or is moulting. In these last two examples I would spray them daily.

My cockatiels prefer a spray bottle 'shower'. They'll bathe two times a week. Sometimes more if I'm vacuuming and they can fit themselves in their water bowl. My quail are an exception. They dust bathe instead and I leave stuff out for them every day. It's rare to find them not prancing through the stuff at least three to four times daily!

Birds love a bath or shower daily. Look at them preen, they love their feather and want to maintain them. If their young, you have to teach them that bathing is fun, kinda like convincing a kid that they'll enjoy a bath.

you do not have to take them baths they do it them self's if you have a water tray where he can go in or you can just spray him ones a week or so.

I give my cockatiel a bath in a big dish in the sink 2-3 times per week, mainly because she loves it. I think once a week is about right for them if you don't have the time for more. My parakeet will come out and bathe in a dish only once a month, so I spray him with water every week.

I offer 2x a week while cleaning out Bender's cage. Sometimes when I am doing dishes, she will start hollering'"water-water"' and she will take a quickie by the sink. She used to like to get in the shower with me, then the shower head got changed, and she quit.

4-6 in the summer, 3-4 times in the winter
