How often to bathe a lovebird

Lovebirds generally enjoy bathing and should be given the opportunity to bathe at least a few times a week. Regular bathing helps them maintain healthy feathers and skin by removing dust and debris. You can offer a shallow dish of lukewarm water in their cage or gently mist them with a spray bottle. Some lovebirds may prefer to bathe daily, while others may only enjoy it occasionally. Observe your bird’s preferences and provide bathing opportunities accordingly. It’s important not to force a bath if the bird is not interested, as this can cause stress. After bathing, ensure they have a warm, draft-free environment to dry off. During molting, bathing can help relieve itching and promote healthy feather growth. Always use clean, chlorine-free water, and avoid using soap or any other cleaning agents.
