One of the most important things in maintaining our bird's health is bathing. Bathing is natural to birds. It helps them in maintaining the quality of their feathers, keeping clean, removing dust, dander, loose feathers and debris from new feathers, moistening the skin, maintaining the insulation properties of their feathers and much more. Breeding birds often bathe in water to dampen their feathers, which helps maintain proper humidity within the nest box. In homes where the air is very dry, such as those using forced hot air heat in the winter, skin can become very dry and bathing becomes essential.I do not know whether bathing is instinctive or a learned behavior. Some baby birds will take to baths completely on their own, while others needed to observe another bird bathing before trying it themselves. Perhaps there are variances by bird or by species, but however they learn, all birds we have encountered take baths. We have a large selection for you at our store.
