Cockatiels generally enjoy being misted with water, especially during warm weather.
Many cockatiels find the experience refreshing and stimulating. They often preen their feathers after a misting, and some even seem to enjoy the sensation of the water droplets on their skin.
However, it is important to note that not all cockatiels enjoy being sprayed with water. Some may find it stressful or even frightening.
Always observe your cockatiel's reaction and stop if they show signs of discomfort.
Here are some tips for misting your cockatiel:
- Use lukewarm water.
- Mist from a distance, avoiding direct spraying.
- Allow your cockatiel to move away if they want to.
- Offer a towel or other absorbent material for drying.
If your cockatiel seems anxious or avoids the misting, it's best to avoid it altogether.
