If the bird regularly bathes in its water dish, buy it a cage-door bird bath or a dishpan to bathe in. If you take your bird in the shower, be certain that all soap and shampoo are rinsed off of you and anything else the bird might come in contact with.
Bathing helps keep the feathers in good condition, which in turn, can help keep the bird healthy.
After a bath, be sure your bird is kept out of cool drafts until it is dry. Either put it in its cage and cover all but one side, or teach it to accept being gently blow-dried.
