You can let your bird be sprayed by the water being careful not to fully engulf his head. Never leave your bird unattended while bathing. During molting, increase your bird's bathing to decrease any itching. If you have a bird that is a feather plucker, try bathing him more often too. Egg Binding - It is that time of the year for birds to be laying and some birds can develop a problem called egg binding.
Egg binding occurs when an egg becomes stuck in the pelvic canal.
This can be a life-threatening problem and should be treated by a Veterinarian immediately. Do not attempt to manually take the egg out. You may accidentally rupture the egg causing a dangerous infection. Symptoms of egg binding include an abnormal stance, lethargy, puffed feathers, sitting on the bottom of the cage, and a swollen vent. To prevent egg binding, add a lot of high calcium vegetables to your bird's diet.
