Baths or showers for an untamed baby?

I'm on 4 days with my new baby IRN.
It struck me tonight, he's going to need a bath or shower pretty soon, and, he's not hand tame.
What should I do?
Does your bird prefer taking a bath, or being showered?
What advice would you have for getting your bird clean, when it's not really tame yet?

Gently spray it with a spray bottle for starters :wink:

My baby is 7 months, and I've only had him 4 days. He's going to need a bath or shower pretty soon, but he's not 100% handtame yet.
