Summer (preventing heat-stroke)

 Bathing is extremely important  for budgies as well as other parrots to prevent heatstroke in summers ,mostly in areas near to the equator (South Asian countries) some of the steps to give bath to your pet birds are mentioned  below:

• Place a bowl of water in the cage so that birds could bath naturally, make sure you wash it and change water regularly. 

•  Take your bird near running tap so that he/she could take bath, but this method is very time consuming  as you have to gain the trust of bird and bird is some times scared of running water so it also consumes a lot of water too, but your bird is ready its really fun . 

• One more method is to spray water on your birds with an ordinary spray bottle, this method is best as it never wastes water and the water particles are cold and  give rapid cooling effect .

NOTE: Make sure there is no standing water in the cage or near it for long periods for it may get stagnant  and may effect the birds.
