Bathing senegal parrots

Question
We have had our bird (4 years old) for a month now. My wife gives it a shower every morning -- is this proper?

Thanks,

Ron

Answer
Yep, giving a bird a daily bath is wonderful! :)

It is excellent for their feathers and skin. Particualaryly during the winter, when the humidity is so low... bath time will help keep their skin from getting dry. My vet recomends giving a bird a bath at least once a week, but more often is even better! :)
