Hope you enjoyed my video. Come and see all my pets kzbin.info/www/bejne/ZmnIdKyfjM2im7c

How often do you give them bath water

[@Loveofpets]

I offer bath water every day throughout the year

[@Loveofpets]

Lukewarm to cool in the cooler weather, when it's hot outside you can use colder water

[@Sar44a]

Love of Pets I give my birds a bath by putting a lot of water on their favorite vegetable or fruit

[@loverfighterwildbullrider]

I love how at 0:27 Sprinkles looks like he sticks his wings out to test the water!!! So cute

[@mycatsface1463]

that was adorable.

[@smikalaus8987]

OMG I'm playing this video on my tablet on the table. My lovebird immediately ran to the screen when your birds were singing, studied the screen like she was watching her favorite soap opera and sang back at your birds! Love it!

[@yongkaochen7174]

When I heard the wet lettuce part, this was my reaction. Me: Seriously? Wet LETTUCE? ( Tries It ) Bird: Plays with it and loves it Me: How is this possible?

[@Loveofpets]

What a varied list of options! My favourite is the Goldie's lorikeet at 4:53, almost snorkeling in the bath. One of my Senegals takes a mini-bath in her water bowl, which is a sign for me I must give her the large bath. Thanks for sharing these with us!

[@Loveofpets]

My Goldie's rolls around like a dog in a mud bath, lol. Thanks for watching!

My budgie won't take a bath

[@laylafarser5620]

she is like the bird queen 👸😂🦜

[@T0mtoma]

She surely is!

[@Pepsi_Please]

Omgosh! What a great video!! After MANY tries n fails even the vacuum. I got my budgies to start taking baths by putting a mirror under the water. My babies were so afraid of water, metal n glass so I tried a silicone rubber pie pan which is also non-slip (safety first!) and easy on the toosies too. They just love it.The water stays warm a little longer too. Now they are taking a dip all the time.

[@Loveofpets]

That's a great option. I forgot to mention about a mirror. I have a bath with a mirror that my budgies love. The stainless steel bowls are like a mirror, my Cockatiels look at themselves and go in, 😀

[@thehashslingingslasher5842]

Lmao my budgie absolutely hates baths. I have tried bathing him in the sink, a bowl, wet grass, etc. I usually just use a spray bottle. He hates the spray too, he runs away from it so I usually just spray him 2 or 3 times and stop bc he wont tolerate anything else lmao. Whenever i give him a bath in the sink he chirps like crazy and just flys on my head. I'll get him off my head and move him near the running water and he just squaks and flys on my head to get away lol. I hate to force him but my bird is pretty nasty so he needs to be clean so I just use a spray bottle, even though he hates that too he will tolerate it more than a bowl or the sink. The spray bottle works best for me and my budgie Kenny..I suggest to use a spray bottle if your bird is too stubborn to take a bath himself in a bowl. Lol.

[@Crazybirbhooman]

Same with my cockatiel, my lovebird just casually jumps into the sink to take a bath but my cocktail won’t go anywhere near water

[@Avalikesbirds]

My Parrotlet is the same it’s tough 😅

[@alexandrine6615]

Mines even worst I tried the bowls he never get in. And when I tried to get my budgie in the sink she would fly away and sometimes she will get in her cage. I mean I can't grab him can I. Well I tried the spray bottle but he would fly away and he will get super upset. I took me a while to gain his trust again so I don't know what to do now

[@user-js1mz2ix9i]

Same with me I literally don’t know what to do anymore my budgies love baths especially in bowls but my cockatiel hates water except for drinking I’ve tried spray bottles water bowls sinks he hates it all so now the only way is to spray him like you said or hold him under the sink without getting it in his face ;(

[@karen81986]

Mine too but it doesn’t get clean under his wings

[@tonsorialartist2601]

that yellow bird at 6:45 soooo adorable! i love all of them all. Lucky you spending time with all those lovely birds 🥰

[@oonicornseverywhere197]

Thanks! I can’t wait to try these on my new bird El!

[@annalisa14]

I adore all the bird ladies who have youtube channels...because I, also, am a bird lady, but I especially like you in Love of Pets, because you are calm. You bring a certain peace to the frenetic, fast moving world of parrots. I dont see any ocd in you, nor any hysteria, feigned or real. I need that calm sometimes. And you are so helpful with your education in every bird subject . I'm so glad you're here! I just wish you would say your name more often , cause I'm not sure what it is!

[@Loveofpets]

Thank you, glad you like my videos 🥰. My name is Donna.

Great job with your birds.

[@nicoe96]

my cockatiel will NOT take a bath unless she's in the shower with me. i've had to hold her on my finger but i'm glad to see there's a perch for birds! thank you!!

[@Loveofpets]

Your welcome. You have a special bond with your bird.

[@shantepowell2977]

Love of Pets agreed mine cockitiel. has to be on my arm or shoulder in order for me to bathe him. I'm going to try this perch out

[@elizajjane]

Mine just doesn’t like water at all. Ima have to try the mist and maybe soft running water in order to get him to. I have a like bath spray, which is fine if I spray it never him and let it fall, but I find that it doesn’t help too much with the dust. *WhY dUsT*

[@ericaphillips4540]

I love that I found this I have 11 society finches just ordering the them a bigger cadge and them going through water is a pain and looked up the flower Catit Flower Cat Water Fountain and was looking at prices and stumbled on you video. Which answered the question if any one has tried this with their bird.

[@Loveofpets]

Your birds will love the fountain. My birds go in it daily.

[@ericaphillips4540]

Love of Pets, They like drinking from it but they don't like bathing in it. But it giving cleaner drinking water for longer. Which was a big part or the goal. I might go down to home Depot and get a piece of pipe so the flower is hight up so they can fit under it better. I'm guessing that is what they don't like.

[@felicityfox3983]

So adorable you are such a bond

[@solanchferia7799]

Hi I have a cockteil as well you helped me bathe her she was very dusty and I didn’t know what to do but know I do thank you

My budgie Monty likes rolling around in wet lettuce leaves... sometimes the ones on my plate if I am not quick enough getting his own ready before my dinner.

[@randomperson-cs6uo]

My budgie hates baths but that really helped all of them thank you very much love your channel

[@knogne5073]

I used a plant mister for my Amazon. He got nervous at first, so I moved away from him a bit, and kept spraying. After a while he spread out his big gorgeous wings, and turned this and that way. It was super cute. I think every bird loves showering even if they seem nervous at first.

[@carolhartley4448]

My gcc like the sink, with running water of course. I put a washcloth down so it's not so slippery. He also likes the shower perch and to be sprayed down, I don't do this near his cage as to keep the cage dry. Jake just loves his baths for sure! Nice options you give, thanx

I have a little 4 month old Cockatiel Peanut. I've only had her 2 weeks so still getting her to trust me. I heard about the spray method on KZbin however I am not sure if she likes it or not. But she does respond the same way your bird did. But really would rather her taking a bath at her own free will. I've been trying using what I have at the moment a plastic container, but when you said try stainless steel or even glass I'll try these ideas first as I do have item's here already. This makes sense to me. As for Christmas she got a new much bigger house that has stainless steel water and food bowls, today I noticed peanut was standing in her drinking water. So that got me thinking maybe if it was bigger she might have used it as a bath. Now after watching this video I'm going to try this. Thank you. Just don't know why I never thought of this before. As it will fit in her big house now.

[@Loveofpets]

Cockatiels do enjoy looking at themselves in the stainless steel and once they are in the dish to have a closer look at themselves they will take a bath 😀. Good luck with your Cockatiel and have fun.

This was such a helpful video! Thank you. I recently got a blue and gold macaw baby, he is 10 months old and haaaaaates water. I have had him for about a month and have only twice succeeded in giving him a shower. I tried the pan bath thing but he wasnt having it. He will "submit" to being sprayed with a water bottle, if he can sit on my shoulders. But he doesnt enjoy it, which is why I dont want to do it. I will try these and hopefully find a way that he loves!

[@Loveofpets]

Congratulations on your new bird. There is a good video on the Birdtricks channel of how to desensitize a bird to being sprayed with water. Check it out as it may help

[@SisterRaven]

@@Loveofpets Thank you, I will check it out!

[@KutWrite]

Wow, fun to watch and educational, too. My Green Cheeked Conure, Jasper does not like to bathe. He will sometimes dip into my ice water when I'm not looking. He gets his whole head under water for a second, dips his neck in, flaps his (dry) wings. Then he takes hours to "dry off." He hates it if I spray him. I have a little cat drinking fountain. Jasper loves watching the fountain and listening to it. That' s it, though so far. My Canary Winged 'keet, Zeke, insists on being sprayed many times a day. If I don't he bathes in his drinking water. He, too watches the fountain for hours, but I haven't seen him dip into it. It might be too deep. I got it because it has a nice, smooth edge that seems the right size for them to grip. I have a 60 day return privilege on it, so we'll see. I'm also tempted to try your DIY bird bath. Only thing, it looks messy. I don't really have a place that can get too wet without ruining something. Thanks again for posting!

[@Loveofpets]

Some birds think they have bathed and only their head is wet or they have a drop of water on them lol. You are lucky to own a canary wing, there is none in Canada.

[@aprillroberts]

Extremely helpful 👍💕

[@leahisnotnormal3890]

I just bring my budgies in the shower with me (separately) lmao... they'll sit on my shoulder and any spray that happens when the water hits my head or neck will get them. They don't LOVE it, but they aren't scared either... plus, it works.

[@regasoup9597]

leahisnotnormal it works for me to, but my parents have banned the birds from all bathrooms. And none of them will bathe in other way 😕

[@dianedevery3711]

My 2 'tiels love being sprayed, especially on hot days. They hang upside down, spread their wings and have a high old time. Only my female will use a bowl to bathe in. They also like the vacuum cleaner, usually go around with them sitting on my head whilst I do it.

[@quinn22252]

TFS ☺️🦜 do you ever put ACV & or baking soda in the water? ......that’s what the breeder, where I got my White canary Jimmy, from said he uses all the time for his 40+ canaries in their spray bath 💦

[@amirations7730]

Please reply.... I have a question. After bathing your birds do you need to dry them with some sort of towel or hairdryer? Or do you let them dry themselves ? (I mentiomed hairdryer bc i watch ppl do that to their birds)

[@Loveofpets]

All my birds dry themselves by preening. When birds bath they usually don't get soaked and dry naturally.
