I only ask because I know a change in behavior can be a sign of illness, but what about bathing habits?
Raiju used to never bathe, but I'd chalk that up to being too scared to as he was new. Since he's moved to my room he's been bathing about once a week, I think it's been at least two months since the move.
But over this past week or two, he's starting to bathe almost every other day. The humidity or temperature hasn't changed at all, except it's been a little warmer at night than usual (It usually drops to 65 degrees in my room at night but lately its been staying at 68-70 all night)
He only bathes in one of the water bowls, Phoenix always bathes in the fountain but Raiju is scared of the fountain still
Phoenix only bathes like twice a month
Could this be a sign of illness? Is it possible for birds to over-bathe?
