Parakeet Taking a Bath

User Question
I put a Bathtub for my keets and change it every day and its warm also, but they just poop there and instead ,only 1 of my keets swim in in their water bowl! How can I get them to know that bathtubs aren't so bad at all? THANKS!

Parakeets don't innately know what bathtubs are for. If you had a wild child around and then showed that child a puddle of water, would that child know what the bathtub was for? It all comes down to learning what a bathtub was for? You need to show what a bathtub was for. How to splash around. How to play in the water. I have lots of advice on the site and in the forum.
