Sunshine and fresh air are so important. Just be careful of too much sun, or heat. Good job with Nikka. Regrowing a plucker is an achievement indeed. Sunshine & showers work wonders for them.

Thanx @ everyone! Yup I try to give them dappled us shine every-day, especially for Nika, because being out there makes her bathe repeatedly. Just bought a new large bath bowl that hangs inside' and an AWESOME new toy, after all, she's a motor city bird. (But we're in the burbs). It's a macaw toy, but she loves big bold toys! (See attached)

Kalidasa,
That toy looks like tons of fun! I have always enjoyed going to pet stores and scoping out toys for all animals, especially birds. I have even done this at times that I couldn't have pets at all! I sometimes think that I enjoy the toys more then the birds do.
I had a small in cage bath for my budgies, but I had to take it out. They enjoyed it just a little to much, spreading water all over the inside. I live in North Carolina and with spring here, the temps are fairly high. Bacteria does not take long at all to grow and I was just to worried about the toys and other small spots in the cage growing bacteria.
What I use for my budgies now is a bird bath that I attach to the gate of the cage. They take a bath every day in it, and I just dry the areas that get wet afterwards. The main issue before was that they were bath four and five times a day so some areas just were not staying dry! I do clean the cage every morning, wiping down toys, perches, sides, and changing the bedding. I might be a bit to paranoid, but I don't think you can be to safe.

@willc...I wish they had those snap-in baths for parrots and their cages. My budgies won't go near those, but I know my conure would.....gonna have to check online....
