Does this breed need a bird bath? All other birds I have had love a bowl of water to play in and clean up. The tiels I have just look at the water in the bowl and walk around it. Even my chickens take a dust bath.

Even my chickens take a dust bath. Yes Tiel's need to take a bath to help with preening and to keep feather dander down as their dander turns to dust. I spray Chirpy with a mister twice a week. She also has a bird bath to play when she feels like it. Some Tiel's prefer to be mist and some prefer to play in water. |

My 23 year old did attempt to bathe on his own. I gave him a bath once a week. My 8 year old female flies to the kitchen sink when she wants to play in the water and bathe and if I fill the water cup high enough, sammy my 2 year old will try to bathe in it. You just have to find what they like
