Can I make my canary get in his bath tub?

Question

It's hot outside and I worry about my canary's health. He occassionally washes his neck in the gadget he drinks from. I bought him a bath tub to wash the whole body, but he avoids getting in it as much as possible. He seems to be afraid of water. What can I do to prevent him from the heat?

Answer 1

Canary's need to get used to the bath tub. Don't interfere with it unless you are cleaning the cage or filling the seeds or water up. If you're afraid of the heat, then put the canary in the garage which may be cold or inside your home.

Answer 2

You can lead a canary to water but you can't make him bathe!

Seriously, is it the kind you hang from the door? Those seem to be the kind small birds adjust to easiest. Also, make sure there isn't too much water in it, they can't swim.

Answer 3

You cant make him get into the bath but you can use a spray gun filled with water to spray him with which will cool him down and also give him a shower, he will love it once you have dont it a couple of times and he is used to it.
