Worried... our beloved GCC won't bath!

[Kittles0455]

We've had our green cheek baby for a good few months now. He used to bath a few times a week. He always has a water dish available for a bath, as well as another one on the kitchen bench, they get cleaned daily, and he always comes into the bathroom when my partner or I shower. He's joined me in there once. But he hasn't had a bath for almost two weeks, no matter how much encouragement we give him. We don't want to force anything on him less he get scared. Has anyone else encountered this problem? He's been in some moods lately, biting hard and often, and refusing to step up. Worried about my little cricket.

i think he will go in on his own if he did it before he must have a reason to stop so if i were you and the i wouldnt worry about it hell go in on his own and the biting could be hormones it also could be territorial problems i think its almost mating season for them to

My little Squirt will only bath at night time, and only if she has fresh water (just poured)... If the water has been sitting there for a few hours, she refuses...

This bird is only 10-11 weeks old... How would she know? The water look perfect to me... As soon as I give her a fresh bowl, she's in it straight away...

My only advice is to keep trying. I take Tich with me when I shower but he's not keen on the water. You could also try investing in a shower perch, and if he doesn't take to that you can always use it on the windows.
I'd carry on as you are, let water be available for him to bathe in and if you do see him go in, praise him lots and lots!
