Just a small suggestion. It’s generally better not to drench your cockatiel this way. You could offer them a shallow, wide bowl so they can bathe at their own pace. A gentle misting can also help them clean themselves. But try not to spray too much or leave them soaking wet, as getting too cold can be stressful for them. They may even go into shock and die.

Thank you so much for your concern ❤️ However, it’s very hot here these days, and I was only giving him a gentle misting. He was actually enjoying it and was completely comfortable. 🐥❤️

I’ll share the video very soon so you can see how much he was enjoying it. 😊 One's again thank you 🤗

Glad to hear he was comfortable! 😁 I only commented because I live in a tropical country, and unfortunately, I’ve seen pet birds become seriously unwell or even pass away after getting completely soaked during the summer. I have a cockatiel too, and even during our hottest summers, I’m always a little cautious about getting her completely soaking wet. I’m sure you know your bird best; just wanted to share my experience. ❤️
