When can my 6-week conure bathe and start weaning from hand-feeding?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Bird | Conure | Male | unneutered | 16 days old

How old does my baby conure have to be before he can safely take a bath? He’s about 6 weeks old right now. Also, when should I start weaning him off of hand feeding? Thank you

Thanks for reaching out about Spicy. You could start offering solid foods such as vegetables and softened pellets now. If he is fully feathered, he can have a mild shower/bath as long as it is a warm day in which to dry. Good luck.
