Is your parrot a bather?

GCC and loves to bath either in her drinking water or the kitchen sink. With her injury to her wing we've been letting her have salt water baths and she doesn't mind them at all . . oh except for the taste

Cloud (PF lovebird) and Archimedes (cockatiel) have never even TRIED to bathe on their own, they hate water. Galileo (black-headed caique) has taken baths in her water dish, but only started this less than two weeks ago, if my memory serves me correctly. She is funny, she goes nuts in that water dish! Oh. And I guess she likes to rub her whole face onto any wet surface. I accidentally spilled a glass of water, and she scooted her face aaaaaall over the coffee table. She's so weird.

Tim(Red Wing) loves to bathe, so often you'll see him and he looks disgusting, until you see that he's just dripping wet. Only likes to do it in his water bowl tho, we have a long rectangle bath, but NONE of them will go in it, they just love their water bowl! Maybe it's the shape and size or something. He's very very hands off so trying to take him in the shower or the sink is not gonna happen. He doesn't mind being misted tho.
Prince(Princess Parrot) likes being misted, but I think he thinks it's a game, he runs away, while fluffing himself up, and then cracks it if you stop! When he was a baby, he used to stand on the edge of his water bowl and pretend he was bathing, go thru the whole routine of fluffing himself up and scratching under his wings etc. But never actually went into the water!
Mali loves going in the shower, doesn't like to bath in a bath/water bowl, but if she knows you're going in the shower she'll try to follow you in and yell at you until you give in and let her in!
Speckle's funny, she's so scared of people, but you put her in the shower and she just turns into this complacent little thing, dancing and chirping, so weird.
Cheeky(rip) was just starting to really enjoy the shower, and would regularly bathe herself in the water bowl. She did just a funny little dance in the shower, and then would shake her head and because she had such thick feathers on her neck she'd end up looking like a Frilled Neck Lizard, all her feathers would stick out in wedges

both of my conures love bathing more than anything. my nanday will jump right into my sink and start splashing like crazy, he has so much fun. my gold cap only likes to jump into her water bowl but also loves to get soaked. both of them bathe about 3-4x a week

You know I think this is a real Conure thing! Our babies discovered the sink on their own at 6 weeks of age. I think its very natural for them .... I love how wet the get too

they always have that mohawk/bad hair day look to them too when they're done being little fishes

My tiel doesn't really seem to enjoy bathing... He gets a spray bottle bath once a week or so, and I've given him opportunities to play around in a sink that he just doesn't seem to want to take... Ah well, not every bird can like everything right?

Rory's a GCC, and he loves a bath. Kitchen sink is preferred (with the water running and the plug in so he can run around and around with his wings out, but he will give himself a bath every morning when I change his water (it gets changed again immediately afterwards, because it's empty by the time he's done).

My old bird, Cooper, was a cockatiel, and while she liked to be misted, there was no way she'd do any more than drink from her water bowl. Rory seems to be more of a diver than a bather, he'd be happy to be completely immersed. It's adorable!
