Thanks for reaching out. Most birds beaks do not need trimming. They naturally where down as they chew food and investigate materials. Generally, when a bird needs a beak trim, something is wrong, such as liver disease, malocclusion or some viral diseases. For bathing, some birds like the shower, a wash bin or can be sprayed gently. Some appreciate room temperature, some warm. You just need to play around a little. Good luck.
