Bathing:-
It's very common to get heatwaves in Belgium during the Summer (temperatures above 30°C again) and budgies absolutely love taking a
bath. In fact, they prefer taking a bath each day, no matter what time
of the year it is. You could either buy special bird baths in the pet
store or just put a little bowl in their cage. Note: the water should be
lukewarm and the water should never be too deep. The cage or bathing
area should be free of any breeze of draft. It's also better to bathe
your budgie in the morning so he or she is completely dry by bedtime.
And last, never try to towel dry or blow dry your budgie! They only air dry.
You
can also wash budgies with a plant sprayer (of course with pure water
and nothing else).I used to do it in the Summer, and it's
so much fun to see them shaking their little feathers and come closer to
the sprayer because they always want more.
Other bathing tips I found:
(a). bathing in a soup plate
(b). bathing under a wet lettuce leaf
(c). bathing under the sink faucet in your hands (if your budgie is tame), make sure the water jet is not too strong and never leave your budgie alone
