My budgies like to bathe in cold water about 60 to 65F. Even colder if I let them.

My lovebird refuses baths, unless they’re super cold. I’ve tried to make them warmer, but he likes it cold! That said, I’d feel much better about it if he’d take a warmer bath.

I have never seen or heard a specific water temperature for healthy bird bathing. I've been told to check water with top of knuckle or back of hand. It should not be warmer then room temperature. That's about 65°-80°F for birds. Individuals actually maintain room temperatures based a lot on climate and energy cost. You're supposed to bath birds during warmest part of day. Never saturate feathers completely. It can cause chills. This worries me a bit. My CAG insists on bathing with her water before lights out. I can understand in part because night time temps here don't stay consistently below 80° until late October and beginning of November. I'm interested if anyone has a specific water temperature for healthy birds
