I bathe Ana Grey every third day and spray her with Aloe Vera and water on the other two days. I never wash her beak or her "face." She always cleans her beak by rubbing it on the sides of her cage, after she has a drink of water, her perches or whatever she wants. Because I don't want to get water into her ears, I let her take care of her head. I just make sure I give her lots of skritches on her head.

my Bella will not bathe in a dish either, and she really does not like being sprayed, she usually flies onto me so I stop. she does keep her beak and face very clean, usually she rubs it on my hand
