Water toys and encouraging water play

[Maria]

Put in bathtub, putting only little bit of water in bathtub.

I do that too. Well there’s all kinds of things you can do and depending on size of bird, etc.

I also bought a regular size outside bird bath; ya know those ones made of cement. The top of it lifts right off, and can be placed back on – easily – sturdily, the way it’s grooved.

I place the top of it only, in the bathtub, and fill it up (fill up the top of the bird bath thing, NOT putting water in the tub). He uses it like a bird bath. Gives them sturdyness and balance for their feet and legs also, and provides good grip. He goes up on the ledge of it and perches there, when he wants to get out of the water. It gives also more control, because then he’s not running around the whole bathtub, so you can also spray him down, etc., as they’re perching up on the ledge of it too.

My parrot also loves to try to take baths in his water bowl lol.

I like the idea of the bottle caps with treats in them.
