Bathing bowls?

Snapdragon · Mar 30, 2021

My moustache parakeet, Tashi, is molting and LOVES soaking in a bowl of cold water. She snuggles down into it and her eyes close blissfully before flapping around happily. Problem is, the bowl I have is only about 9-10" across, so she only has room to get her belly clean. I'd love to get her a larger dish to bathe in, but can't seem to find a decently large enough food-safe bowl. (Aside from a huge stainless steel bowl that she is terrified of, dork that she is. ❤) Would one of these wild bird bath bowls be safe?

If not, what bowls would you recommend that ARE parrot-safe?

I use human serving dishes. I recently broke mine. So when I came across this huge dip platter I got it! My birds love it. They all took baths in it this morning! Sorry I couldn't tempting them again for a photo op.

Mine prefer the upright edges to grip when getting in and out. I'm sure those bowls could work , but knowing what I have tried and how my birds use, they would not like the lack of lip on those.

I would LOVE to use human serving dishes. Problem is, I can't find anything wide enough AND deep enough. Tashi's funny; she really loves to have a good inch to inch and a half of water in the bowl. She's fine with the lack of a wide rim on the one she uses now; she just holds onto the edge of the bowl with her beak and eases her body into the water. I've even caught the goofball tossing herself in back-first. My parrot is a weirdo, lol.

We have long used Glass Pie Dishes. The old fashion heavy ones. They are wide enough that even 500 grams of Amazon doesn't tilt them. Commonly found in Garage Sales, etc...

Deep dish pizza pans (aka Sicilian pizza pie) are huge, stainless steel or aluminum and have a raised edge.

Here is a 16" round one : https://www.webstaurantstore.com/choice-16-x-2-round-straight-sided-aluminum-cake-deep-dish-pizza-pan/407CPAN162A.html

And a 16" x 16" square one
