Most swallowbirds love to bathe. Helping them bathe is quite easy to do because the swallow bird will mostly bathe on its own. They often swing their feathers to let water run through their skin, and you should bathe the bird's nest several times a week, especially if the air in your home is dry. Bathing helps the bird preen the feathers, removes dirt and more from the feathers.

Steps

Method 1 of 2: Bird bath

1. 

   Fill a shallow bowl with warm water. Only 3 to 5 cm of water should be filled with water. Do not pour water too cold because swallow bird easily catches cold.
   • You can also use the tub type that attaches to the side of the cage.
   • If you find that your bird doesn't like the bowl of water, you can place clean green grass at the bottom of the cage. Your bird will love rolling on them for a bath.
   • You do not need to use soap.

2. 

   
   
   Place the towel under the cage. If you are afraid of splashing water, you can place a towel under the bird cage. The towel will soak the water droplets.

3. 

   Place the bowl at the bottom of the bird's cage. Place it in this position so that the swallow bird can perch. Make sure the bowl is on a level surface.
   • If you like, you can pour some water into the sink. Put the swallow bird in there and close the door so it won't fly away. However, it is important to make sure that the wash basin is clean.

4. 

   
   
   Let the swallow bird play. Usually the swallow bird will splash water and wave its wings in it. Water will splash out when the swallow bird bathes on its own. Most swallowbirds like to do so.
   • If the swallow does not land immediately, you should help it get used to. If it still doesn't pass, you must use the other methods below.

5. 

   
   
   Let the bird dry itself out. Your bird will shake itself to splash the water. However, you need to make sure the place is neither windy nor too cold. You can cover the cage with a towel to keep the bird warmer.

6. 

   Clean the tub. After you have bathed your bird, remove the bird's bowl or bath from the cage. You should wash well and wash your hands after you are done. advertisement

Method 2 of 2: Use aerosol

1. 

   Buy a spray bottle. You can find the spray at a regular store or supermarket in the hair care area. You can also purchase aerosols from the home repair shop's gardening area.
   • One thing that can replace a spray is the shower. Simply turn the shower on to the warm gentle spray.

2. 

   Spray warm or room temperature water. The water should not be too cold because the swallow bird and many other small birds often do not tolerate the cold.

3. 

   Switch the shower to "mist". Each aerosol includes many different modes. Instead of spraying small sprays, you need regular misting to bathe your bird.

4. 

   Spray the bird with water. You need to gently mist to let the water slowly flow down the bird's body. Do not spray directly in the face as most birds do not like this.
   • You can bathe the bird every day if you want.

5. 

   Let the bird dry itself out. Your bird will shake itself and splash the water. Make sure the place is warm and windless. advertisement

Warning

• Should use a new spray for the bird. If you use a bottle that used to contain detergent, the leftover chemicals could harm the bird.
