Besides, you risk to lose his trust. You have to try to interest a birdie in water. It is possible to put, for example, its favourite toy, favourite delicacy in water or to put a mirror, then a birdie, looking on itself, will use it more often, but all this is individual. Offer it different options, but never try to bath it violently. Sometimes they just have to it no mood. Therefore offer an opportunity for bathing again and again.
