So providing them with an in-cage birdbath is a great way for them to keep their feathers looking pristine.<\/p>\n<p>Dampening feathers <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rspb.org.uk\/birds-and-wildlife\/advice\/how-you-can-help-birds\/birds-and-water\/#:~:text=Bathing%20is%20an%20important%20part,underneath%20to%20keep%20them%20warm.\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">helps to loosen dirt<\/a>, making it easier for the bird to then preen themselves. It can also trap a layer of air underneath to keep them insulated and warm. After all, your pet bird still has the same instincts as those in the wild.<\/p>\n<p>But with so many different sizes, styles and attachment options out there, it can often be confusing to work out what kind of birdbath your favourite wingman actually needs.<\/p>\n<p>You need to look for something large enough for your bird firstly. A budgie and an African Grey differ in size quite a lot. You&#8217;ll also need a cage that attaches to your type of cage well, whether you have vertical or horizontal bars. Getting a birdbath that is covered will help keep mess to a minimum, too.<\/p>\n<p>Birds also love bright colours. So, getting one with a bright finish is a great pick. It will need cleaning and refilling occasionally too, so it needs to be easy to take down and refit without too much disruption.<\/p>\n<p>So to help you and your pet bird, we&#8217;ve meticulously searched through some of the best available options for your pet, so you don&#8217;t have to. We looked at hundreds of reviews and checked everything against our specifications.<\/p>\n<p>From the perfect pool for a parrot to the correct tub for a cockatiel, there&#8217;s something for every bird in our search!<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Starting from scratch?
