Not all birds will bathe all the time or even enjoy taking a bath. You can set a dish of clean shallow water in the cage and give them a chance to check it out and bathe themselves. Some birds also enjoy being misted with a cool spray bottle (not directly aimed at them) instead of a bath. However, if your birds are otherwise clean and healthy, I wouldn't worry too much.

You can offer a bath every couple of days. A shallow tray in the floor of their cage may offer a chance for bathing without having to take them out. Just only put it in for bath time and remove when done so there isn't dirty water sitting in the cage. Or some birds appreciate a gentle mist of warm water from a spray bottle. Here's some more info and info on training to handle as well. https://vcahospitals.com/know-your-pet/bathing-birds https://vcahospitals.com/know-your-pet/taming-training-talking-to-birds http://www.medicalcenterforbirds.com/refId,58568/refDownload.pml
