Hi.. On Dec 21 we brought home Yuki a 3 month old Quaker. Sadly, I had lost my first Quaker last Sept, Mojo was 10 years old. Every thing is going good except I can't get Yuki to take a bath... He does dip his beak in the drinking bowl. My other Quaker use to bath in the sink.. Help?

I'm able to leave a shallow dish at the bottom of Peppy's cage, maybe every other day, and he sees to his hygeine several times a week. Sounds like Yuki might need a demonstration. If you set out a suitable, low sided dish and splash your hand around in it he may get the idea, though it could take more than a few tries. Some birds are attracted to running water to bathe. A little trick you can try is to run the vacuum nearby. That encourages bathing in many birds. You can also put a lettuce leaf or a toy in the water. He might want to investigate that. In the meantime, you can spray him with a water mister. Spray up so that it drifts down on him, gently. Others will probably have some other ideas for you.
