JW Pet Company Insight Bird Bath Bird Accessory, Multicolor

Good idea but my bird doesn't use it

My birds love them. I use one for food the other for water.

This has a rubbery seal between the base and top, so I haven't had any leakage like other reviewers mentioned. Maybe they added this seal after people complained about leaking? It's super attractive, well built, and so easy to put on and take off. There's a wide flap on the back of the base you just position over the bottom of the cage door. A peg on the side aligns it with the bars. Then, you just poke the top, spring-loaded piece through the bars, turn the knob 90 degrees, and release it. Reverse this order to remove it. It couldn't be easier! The bars on my cage are horizontal. It works great with this. I'm not sure how well it would work with vertical bars. I've only seen my bird get in it, once. That was when I first got it. He first started drinking the water while sitting on the edge. Then, he surprised me by plopping all the way into the water and flapping his wings. I've never seen him do this, again. This is no fault of the bathtub. I just think not all birds care for baths! They're very clean creatures, anyway. They don't live on ground-level in their filth like other animals have to. I have a bird bath outside, and I keep the water changed daily. Wild birds drink from it all the time, but I've only seen one Robin take a bath, ever. One bird. One bath. That's all I've ever seen in the outdoor birdbath and in this one. By the way, I have parakeets. I just got the second one a couple weeks, ago, and he doesn't like baths, either. Not yet, anyway. This is a well-built and easy to use birdbath accessory. But, don't expect your bird to use it. It may or may not. If you stayed clean and didn't have to have a bath, would you take them, especially if you didn't like being wet? LOL (I've read that bathing too often is not good for our human skin.) UPDATE: Yesterday, I tried something to get my birds to pay attention to the bathtub. I took away their water bottle! I put fresh water in the tub. Eventually, they were both drinking from it. A few minutes, later, they were both in the water! It worked! I bet this will work for you, too.

I would give it 5 Stars straight if it wasn't for the imperfect seal... But first the good: It's big, perfect for my parakeet. He doesn't bathe, ever, so I hoped this would do it.... not, so far. It does not fully cover the door openings on my Hagen cage(s) , so I wouldn't use it outdoors. I love that it has a spring in the attaching mechanism which pushes it against the cage and: One can rotate the back screw easily so it slips out between the wire, no need to unscrew it at all! So easy to attach and remove. What fabulous gadgets are available nowadays. I'll keep trying to get my bird to use it! The seal could be better and bigger, I could see it leaking if bird used it vigorously. I just tilted it up (before dumping water to change it), and it leaked out the back, almost unhindered. Right now you can slide out the tray and everything is easily cleaned.... I still might just use a non-toxic glue to seal the whole thing, given that my bird decides to use it.

Solid and well built- but my birds don’t really seem to enjoy use it much. We keep it on the cage as a “different” option. But they have to be out in the hot sun before they want a “bird bath”.

My budgie loves it and it was the perfect size. She has room to splash and turn around in it. Very easy to clean

At first I was skeptical making this purchase because some of the reviews were not all that great. But this little bird bath is perfect for birds that are too clever for their own good. My Quakers tried and tried to take it apart and unhook it from the door but they were not able to. It really fits securely. As soon as I placed the bath on their cage they went ahead and used it. It's really well made. And it's easy to clip onto the cage it does hold the door up there are instructions in the box that are really easy to follow. used it.

My lil bird loves this. However I started out putting water in it but he never went in to bath. So I changed it to his food. He loves being in there and I love watching him scoot around. Also helps with the mess. Little Rainy is messy! I give it 5*****! Try it for your lil Birdy!
