Many pets-parrots just love to swim. If you belong to those owners who want their favorite pet to bathe willingly and with pleasure, then you need to know some tricks that will help you to accustom the bird to the water.
The most important and most important thing is that you must understand: this procedure should occur voluntarily! Your task is to accustom the bird to water, to interest it in one way or another. You can offer her various options, but in no case do you need to rape a bird and poke it in, forcing you to swim!
Moreover, you should take note that what is sometimes frightened is simply no mood for doing this fun procedure. Bird can love to swim, but on some days or moments, do not call them and as they do not offer water, they will refuse. And the reason will be simply nehotenie.Imenno so you need to have patience and constantly offer them a ransom.
Remember that if you started water procedures for the pet, then in the room (house, apartment) it must be necessarily warm, watch that there were no drafts, moreover, the water should be warm. When parrots swim, they really love to drink from their "bath", so take care that you can drink water. If you leave water in the "bathtub" for a long time, then constantly change the water.
In no case after bathing, you can not dry the bird with a hair dryer. They have very delicate skin and besides, they do not have any grease. Remember that some feniosnachennye elements of non-stick coating, which when you start to emit a pair, and they are parrots just deadly. If your parrot is "wet" and you see that it is very cold, then put it under the incandescent lamp, so it can dry completely and keep warm.
There are several ways of bathing.
Bathing
This is probably the easiest way for any host. However, it is not always effective. Many birds rarely take a shower with a vampire and only when they are interested in something.
The pallet or a plate
Pour the water into a large tray, a plate or bowl. However, remember that you should not overdo it. For the first time your parrot does not need much water. To the bird went to swim, it must be lured. In this you can help her favorite toy, for example, to the bottom you can put a mirror or send there his favorite delicacy. If your bird is tame, then lure it with your hand, splash yourself in the dish and then the parrot will understand that it has nothing to fear.
In the hands under the tap
Again, if your parrot is manual, then you can bring it to your hand under a warm stream of water. And, if the parrot jumps, then do not pull it under the water forcibly, let him consider the water, take an interest in it and get acquainted. Some parrots actively observe how their owners wash the dishes, and then they themselves with interest go under the water. At first they try to peck the water, and then climb under it entirely.
Wet leaves
There are birds that just flatly refuse to approach the water, but they like to bathe in wet leaves. You can use the cabbage or salad greens for this. Perhaps, some other leaves will help you.
Wet objects
Wet objects may also be of interest to the pet. Perhaps your parrot will like, for example, a wet colander or any other items.
In a cage
When you decide to wash the cage of a bird, take a muzhchin with you. Birds can not only climb on wet twigs, but suddenly they will descend to the floor, and when they realize that it will be nurtured, they will swim constantly. Just make sure that the water from the cage is poured when you pour it inside. Try to start up a weak trickle-blower with a bird, but you do not need to pour water on it. If your parrot is very timid, it can scare him away for a long time. Pay attention to the reaction of the pet, if he does not like and he constantly jumps back or you see what is scary, then stop this action.
Fontanchik
Parrots like running water: both the sight and sound. To achieve this effect, you can make a fountain.
Spray
Try to sprinkle some water from the spray, but not in the case, not on the parrot, but slightly higher above it to make it rain. Vodicka cook very hot, almost like boiling water. Do not worry, when you splash water it immediately cools. Many parrots are just delighted with such a procedure. But watch out for the reaction, if the bird does not like it, then do not need much wetting. After this, pour the water from the spray gun and dry it.
Tea with chamomile
Many parrots love chamomile teas and at bathing it, so you can brew such tea and add it to the bathing suit.
In the natural environment, most of the wavy parrots desperately swim in dew or rain water. Therefore, our parrots need to do this.

If the parrot does not want to swim, then get a bath with a mirror, so he will look at himself and maybe want to redeem himself.
The bath can be installed next to the cage or even on the dnecklaces.
