Cockatiel showering/bathing

[SimplyBirdLover]

Hello everyone, I am once again popping back in to ask a quick question about my cockatiel. My cockatiel, Macquarie absolutely loves water. I mean LOVES water. I have been misting him daily lately since he really enjoys it and I dont have all that much humidity where I live( especially not now since its snowy) this has been keeping his skin healthy
Anyways, since he loves water so so much I was wandering if I could let him actually shower, in the shower.
I couldn't find much information on smaller birds in the shower and whether or not it is safe so i figured this is the best place to come. I would obviously only have him walk into the water if he wanted and I wouldn't force him to go underneath the water if he didn't want to. I would hold him on my arm because i feel that would be best since he is comfortable there and he has never used the shower perch.
Thanks in advance. let me know if you have any other recommendations for birdies that love water as much as him!

I have let Elvis, my Cockatiel, shower with me once before. He loved it.

yup, jump in the shower with you. My conure would do exactly that. He would sit in the shower curtain and watch me, jumping down to get a little splash going every now and then. Just keep the water on the cooler side, I'd say slightly warm just so they don't get scolded by the water

Take a look at this for the shower. My JoJo won’t use it to get wet, but he hangs next to the water stream and zones out while I shower. Prices are all over the place, and if you have some of the stuff, it is easy to make!
