Bathing is an important part of our birds' general grooming process. It allows birds to keep their plumage in good condition, by softening dirt on the feathers and skin and encouraging preening.

Especially in small, poorly ventilated spaces pollutants - such as dander, dried droppings and skin/feather mites - can be a major issue.
