Hi, my parakeet or budgie is 13 or 12 weeks. I want to start giving him baths, but when he touches the water he jumps away. I use lukewarm water, and a wide bowl he had gotten used to. and my 4 year old parakeet loves it. What do I do?

I agree with the above, especially the light, gentle misting. It simulates rain. I even spray above them & let it fall down. If it doesn't like it, wait & try later. Mine often bathe early in a.m. especially on cold days outside. Also often when vacuum ran after cleaning cages & putting in fresh water.

I have two birds. Both of them take a bath in their water bowl. Which is cold water. And they seem very happy to do this everyday almost. You have a young bird there he'll get used to it. But you probably don't need to warm the water

Try colder water, all of my birds, which I have 5, use there water bowl. I have to change it more but it is at there own time. No pressure.

Get off my phone! I know absolutely nothing about birds!

Mist the bird with water bottle near the bowl

I have before the same , and it tock 6months to them to get it

Let the young one get use to the bowl without water in it for awhile. Add water a little at a time. He'll adapt. WoooHooo

He will get on the water u just need give him time

Keep introducing the bath water to him
