Answer
Hi, Shuroma.  Thanks for posting!

With your grey so young right now, you can take a wash cloth with warm water and wash the cereal off of your grey's feathers.  Then dry him thoroughly with a dry cloth/towel so s/he doesn't get a chill.

Yes, most parrots love to bathe.  However, your grey is still too young to be bathing.  S/he needs to be several months old before you give the bird a dish of water to bathe in and/or before you spray mist your bird.
