What to do with dirty birds?

Yikes Sherry; that bottle bath is the greatest idea ever. And there'll be no pooping from overhead birds in it. I'm tempted to try it for a feed dish variation. Clean, Clean, Clean. I love it.

Many people say not to mist then. But.... at times I have had to mist and spray a bird in order to catch it in my aviary and I have to say that I actually think they were enjoying it because they didn't even try to fly away.

Hey Dolly J glad you liked my idea. You might be right about using it for a seed feeder.
It was great fun making it and actually seeing them use it.

I see clean egg food in the future; and no greens scattered around or dropped between the floor grate. (although they do like to carry the greens & fly around with them)

My gouldians do not like being misted with water.

Great idea Sherry! Thanks for sharing! I hope you find a bath idea for the non bathers.
