Bath time!!

My conure Mango doesn't like to get baths. I will fill the bathroom sink with a little bit of watter and he wont go. Sometimes he will take a bath in his water bowl so I will spray him so he wont waste water but he doesn't like it.

What kind of sprayer do you use? If it's like a regular spray bottle the water may be coming out to hard. Try picking up a mister, or adjusting the spray to just a lite mist.....Pita loves his mist baths, he used to like the sink, but not anymore.

Noel hates bathes too... less it's out in the rain (hose if I can make it act like rain), and most recently, watching Charlie bathe (she's watched various other birds bathe and was never interested...).

If you read "Goofy Conures" down below, you'll read what I mean!

bella needed some motivation too - she doesn't like the spray bottle, and she would just stand in the sink.... so we used the sink hose to create somewhat like a rain and that worked - now all that she's interested in is the shower, and she sits under the running water for 20min

just keep trying different rounts to get mango wet - good luck
