Personally, if this was my bird, I would not even try to bathe him. The thing with plucking is that, even when it's caused by a medical condition, there is always anxiety mixed in there and taking into consideration that the most important thing to do with them is to avoid anything that would stress them out, if he doesn't like been bathed, it's a case of the remedy been worse than the disease. People often recommend baths for plucking birds but this only works if the bird enjoys getting a bath so, although the recommendation, per se, is not wrong, you need to take into consideration each individual bird because, if the bird is going to get bent out of shape by it, where is the benefit in it?
