Also do they need baths?
It's really not that they need a lot of effort. Just think if you had to stay in a cage all day. You'd want out too

Yes they need baths, but it isn't what you may be thinking. You can spray him/her with a spray bottle or something like that. I take Alex in the shower with me sometimes. They make perches that stick to the side of the shower. I don't have one yet, but I want one. I don't let the water directly hit her, obviously. She'd get knocked down When it's warm out side I have a smaller cage I put all four in and I put the hose on mist and mist them down. They love to be misted and put in the sun.
