first bath

[Joeyx]

so i was wondering when it would be a good/safe time to bathe a baby lovebird.
i never really thought about it before coz all the lovebirds i had before just
started jumping in their water cups around about 2 months of age. they did it
almost daily. now i have 1 month old Cloud here and was wondering if it's
safe to mist him a bit because he kinda stinks from his unfortunately bad
breeder guy.

i was thinking of doing it sometime after his afternoon feed, outside under the
sun on a really good day. thoughts?

I've seen other breeders here tell people it was ok to wash off formula and stuff from their babies, so he will probably be just fine.

Take some pics for us, lol!

lol nah i take good care not to mess up their heads with formula. i was thinking a full
bath. well not soaking to the bones, but just a proper one.

Well, some of the babies just kind of jumped into a bowl of it I guess as they were transitioning from a syringe, and were just coated in it, lol! The first time I tried sharing spaghetti with my conure, she just jumped right into the middle of the plate, so I can see it And I've had that happen with kittens I was bottle raising when they got old enough to start lapping. They would crawl right onto the plate I put it on and then be soaked in formula.
