Aka Posted March 19, 2019 Share Posted March 19, 2019 I tried keeping a bath in my budgies' cage. In a shallow plastic box filled with water, I left some of their favorite leaves. But they do not sit or splash in it. They only either drink water from it or eat leaves, standing on its edges. How do I make them go inside the water?

ajm200 Posted March 19, 2019 Share Posted March 19, 2019 We have two budgies. Neither bath and both are really healthy. They get sprayed occasionally when they have a shrieking competition and get too loud. They both hate water. They have deep sand on the floor of the cage and don’t dustbath either. Personally I wouldn’t worry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HarrisonFamily Posted March 19, 2019 Share Posted March 19, 2019 We have 2 budgies that are at least 10 years old and they have never had a bath either ..They are outside in an aviary so probably have a shower occasionally !!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
percy049 Posted June 27, 2020 Share Posted June 27, 2020 I've found that you have to splash the water yourself to show them what it is and flick/splash the water at them 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
