1
Fill a deep bowl with lukewarm water. The water should be only 2.5 or 5 cm deep. Cold water should not be used, because parrots are sensitive to cold. [4]
You can also find attached bathrooms next to the bird's cage.
If the bird does not like the bowl, you can try wet grass on a clean cage floor. The bird will love to wallow in as a shower. [5]
You don't have to use soap. [6]

Place the container on the floor of the cage. Place it inside the cage so that the bird will jump into it. Ensure that the water is not deep. [7]
You can also fill your tank with a small amount of water. Take the budgie there, and close the door so it doesn't fly away. But make sure the sink is clean first. [8]

Let the budgie play. The budgie will spread the water. And splashing water is the parrot’s way to shower. Most parrots enjoy this process too. [9]
If the budgie doesn't jump into the bowl right away, give her a chance to get used to it. If you continue not to jump, you should move to the next method. [10]
