In order to keep your pigeons healthy, it is necessary for them to take a weekly bath. But there’s only a few that know how to use the bathing of pigeons to increase fitness.
During a hot summer it is advisable to give them a bath twice a week. If a pigeon does not like to take a bath it will not take one. But if a pigeon feels well after a bath you will notice it will even take a bath twice a day. Keep in mind that a bath strengthens the organs of the pigeon and that it takes away any dirt from their feet and feathers.
Bathing has an effect on the feathering; it breaks up the old oil that protects the birds from the weather. There is no doubt that this comes about by changing skin temperature, which seems to cause a humidifieing effect between the feathers. Have you noticed that once your pigeons have taken a bath they will preen themselves, carefully extracting oil from the oil gland at the base of the tail and applying it to other feathers. At this time you would find it harder to wet a pigeon after it had taken a bath than a week previously because, of course, the oil on the feathers is very fresh.
Now it’s a fact that bathing a pigeon will keep the moult constant. Once a bird has a bath, within 24 hours one will experience a down moult among fit pigeons
