Well, I just cleaned their water and they decided to take a bath. I think Tweetles wanted to but was scared. Don't mind my sister talking in the background >.>

So cute! My budgies decided to finally take a bath in the bowl I provided and I think it's the cutest thing in the world!

Bird baths are always so cute! I love the way Sky gently dips her wings into the bath (she's the one who absolutely loves baths). Was wondering, is there a maximum amount of times per week you should let your budgies take a bath? There was a week when Sky wanted a bath almost every day (she starts trying to wash herself in their water bottle and immediately gets into the bath once I offer it).

I heard somewhere that you aren't supposed to let them have a bath more than once every week or two, but I don't really see the point in that if they want one. Birds in the wild quite often bathe every day.

Wild birds bathe often in water. I think the only thing to watch for is that they can dry off completely before the sun sets. I use a spray bottle but limit use to once a week or so because it is very cold right now. And I only use it when the sun is strong in the afternoon and they like to sit near the heat vent to dry off. Santino has started to fly over to my hand and sit on the water bottle as I spray but that doesn't work too well .

Yeah it was a particular hot/warm week (a number of people - especially turists - were in tshirts) so drying off wasn't a problem at all. The temperature has gone down a bit again and the sky's a bit cloudy, and in fact she hasn'ttaken a bath this last week or so. Thanks for your input guys!
They're so cute when they do something like that..defeating the purpose of misting them by sitting on instead of infront of the bottle haha!

I wish my birds would bathe more often. It's so adorable on the rare occasion they do. Mistletoe could sure use a bath most of all. He always leaves a ton of junk on my shirt when he's been sitting on me. All that powder and dandruff. I wonder where it all comes from.

Emma loves it when I mist her. I'll get a video of it sometime.

I still haven't purchased a misting bottle. On the occasion that I take Mistletoe to the shower with me, he sits there on his perch looking miserable.

Aww. Poor Mistletoe! Silver doesn't care for the mister yet. But, he likes the Missus (hahaha, couldn't resist). It's okay to groan.

Both Shasta and Orion love coming to the shower with me. I even have a shower perch that they both sit on while I wash my hair, and then I turn the shower head to the lowest drip setting and they bathe themselves.
