You can provide the bird with a bowl of water that it can get into & clean itself, when it wants to.....you don't have to wait any length of time.....no soap or shampoo on the bird though.....

My pet shop tell me not to bath for 3 months but i thought that will be unhygenic.

My st thomas is a baby so will they die from coldness after bath?

Not to worry, there is nothing unhygenic about the bird bathing when it is ready.....

You have a young bird, so maybe keeping the bird at 40F or warmer for bathing would be OK.....healthy, grown birds can handle temperatures around 0C without any problems.....

Is your conure healthy? Are the droppings normal?

This is not normal behavior. You need to take your bird to a qualified Vet as soon as possible.
