Best Answer

Birds will bathe in dust or a shallow pool of water. This helps cut down on parasites and other annoyances.

They will also preen their feathers at least once a day (often more often) to keep them neat and in order so that they look nice for potential mates, provide more effective temperature control of their body, and can be used for flight. It is, in essence, similar to combing your hair, except instead of a comb they typically preen with their bill. Most birds preen themselves, but some will preen each other.

Most bees are very clean insects. If their hive gets dirty, they clean it by removing the dirt. The worker bees of many species will bathe the queen.

They lick themselves and each other. They tend to use combs and toothpicks. They also get pedicures and go to the dentist twice a year
