![]() Use a spray bottle or mister to rinse your bird clean, and allow your bird to dry itself. Use your hands (or shower gloves for a bit more protection) and gently rub the soapy water over your bird, avoiding the eyes and beak. We recommend filling a small tub of water, then adding in a squirt or two of soap. Similar to bathing cats, the more comfortable and stable you can make the experience for the bird, the better things will go. However, if your bird ends up covered in oil or a sticky substance, then a soapy bath is in order. You can also mist your bird with a bit of water. Most times, it’s best to let birds wash themselves by simply providing a small tub of room temperature water and allowing your bird to bathe itself. Remember that your cat can pick up on your anxiety and stress-so try to make the experience as relaxing as possible for yourself, and hopefully your cat will chill out, too! It can also be super helpful to have another person on hand to assist… so invite a friend or loved one to help you.
