Read About Choosing Bird Shampoo

Bird shampoo is only necessary if your bird gets extremely dirty or oily for some reason. For "normal" bathing, plain warm water is best.

Things to Consider:

  • Warmth for Wet Birds – Be sure you give your bird a warm place to air dry after bathing.

  • Safe Use of Hair Dryer – You can use a hair dryer to dry your bird. However,you need to be sure to hold the dryer at a safe distance, approximately 11–inches or more away from your bird is recommended.

  • Don´t Saturate Feathers – When bathing your bird, don´t get his feathers completely saturated. Not only is it unnecessary, but it can lead to a dangerous loss of body heat for your bird.
