I give mine baths every other day. The reason is, I used to give them baths twice a week, but then they all crowd in the tub and start fighting.
So, every other day works fine for me cause they don't bathe all at the same time. Reti

In winter, the birds usually get a bath once a week or so. Once the weather warms up they get two or more per week. In the hot weather, they would bath daily if I provided it.
Frequent baths also keep the feathers in good shape and bugs at bay (when I add 20 mule team borax to the water). Al

Where there is water there is a way !
 A couple of days ago my pigeon Tooter was outside in the front with me as I was planting some canas plants, and he found a rain gutter that was full of recent rain water and he was up there squeezed in bathing himself.  When he came down to me when I called for him, geez was he stinky.  I had to take him inside to bathe him. Now I gotta work on cleaning the gutters. Yes, they love the water! (clean or otherwise, they are easily pleased)

To come or not to come that is the ...Hi Photokev, Yep he will fly to my arm between the first and third command, especially when he is HUNGRY
! Otherwise, it depends on his mood and whether or not he is busy exploring, but if I am persistant, he comes.

Yesterday was a nice sunny day in the upper 70's. Then some thunderheads moved in and soon we got thunder and lightening; and a downpour. Looking outside I saw the birds all crammed in the avairy taking a "shower". When I say downpour I mean it. The rain was super heavy and even contained a little hail or graupel. It's not like they have not had bath water for a while either. Three days ago it was provided.
