more than likely he bathes in his water bowl. Do not bath him as normal pet in a tub or sick. offer him a dish of water at the bottom of his cage and he will bathe himself if needed. Birds also prin to stay clean

Not in the traditional sense with soap and water. IF you have a small bird, go to a petstore, and they sell bird baths for the appropriate sized bird. IF you have a large parrot, use a spray bottle filled with room temperature water and spray above them so it falls down on them like rain.

Yes most birds love to bathe in your water dish. Make sure the water is cool.

I assume you have a parrot.
You don't have to bathe him, he'll do it himself. If he's tame set a bowl of water near him and he'll climb in and splash around. If he stays in his cage then pick up one of those birdbaths that hook onto the cage and give it to him.
Birds love to bathe. Some will even perch in the shower at the edge of the spray but I don't recommend that until you see how the bird reacts to his bath. Good luck!

Just put a little plastic bird bath in his cage and he'll give himself a bath. Birds just love water.

It is reasonable to get a bird bath but put it inside. Then you can let your bird take it's own bath.

My bird will take a bath in the water bowl. So I got him a large water bowl .. He loves it. And I have a spray bottle that I spray him with. But I hold him while I spray him slowly not to piss him off. And he takes showers with me from time to time.

I give my parrot a bath 3 x a week. Also, you can spray him with warm water in a spray bottle. They need to have a bath to help thier skin.

Yup, it's okay to give your bird a bath.
Just put a small amount of water in a sprayer,
and then sprinkle some water on your bird.
But don't do that outside especially if there's some cats!
