Hey,

I just wanted to ask whether it is a bad idea to give a 1-month-old ringneck a bath? Because I feed him baby food and the feathers of his head have gotten a bit dirty even though i wipe them for him after each feed. Thanks.

Hi sunny lutino,
No it is not good to bath a IRN that young. It could get chilled. I would just use warm water and soft cloth to clean it up. You can gentily rub the feathers if need be to get every thing off. Then dry him/her well and keep warm till fully dry.
