Summarize the following:
Bathing your bird regularly is just as important to its overall health as cleaning the cage. Choose a birdbath that is appropriately sized for your bird so that it will not have trouble getting in and out of the basin.  Some birdbaths are meant for use inside the cage, while some are meant for use outside the cage. Larger birds may benefit from external baths, but bath setup largely comes down to owner preference. If you have a bird that can swim, such as a duck, make sure the bath contains enough space and water for the bird to be able to dunk their head safely. Allow the bird to use the bath only with your supervision. Fill the bath with warm water, and allow the bird to splash around, getting itself wet and preening for several minutes before removing it from the bath. Once your bird has finished bathing, scratch against the feathers to imitate mutual preening. Be sure not to press the feathers down against the bird’s body, as birds do not enjoy this sensation. Your bird will need time enough to dry before the evening. Allowing a bird to bathe too close to bedtime could lead them to getting dangerously cold during the night. Make sure your bird has at least a few hours to dry fully, especially for large birds. If you live in a colder environment, make sure the room is well-heated while your bird is bathing as well as when it is drying off.

summary: Choose a birdbath. Use warm water. Allow the bird to dry.

One of the hallmarks of grunge is comfort, and there is nothing more comfortable than a pair of worn, baggy jeans. Buy a pair of jeans a size or two larger than you normally buy. Make sure you steer clear of the skinny jeans. They are made to fit more snugly than you want your pants. Try to find jeans with rips, holes, or patches made on them. They give them a worn, lived in look that goes great with the grunge look.  You can save some money on jeans by buying a normal pair of jeans and ripping them up yourself. Non holey jeans are usually cheaper and you can add the holes wherever you want. You can also try finding jeans at thrift or second hand stores. They will be more worn and comfortable than brand new jeans. If it's warm weather, you can also go with a pair of cut off denim shorts. These look great with a crop top and a flannel shirt around your waist. If you don't want to go for the full dress, try an A-line printed skirt. Liv Tyler popularized this style both off screen and on, in music videos for Aerosmith and movies such as Empire Records. Try one in plaid or a floral design and earth tone color palette. A-line skirts look great with an oversized band t-shirt and a flannel wrapped around your waist. Don't worry if your plaid shirt doesn't match the pattern on the skirt. It will make you seem even more grunge. Denim overalls were a huge trend in the 90s and the grunge scene worked them to their advantage. Buy a pair overalls and match them with a band tee or tank. You can wear the flannel as an overshirt or around your waist because both styles look great with the overalls.  You can also try the one-shoulder look as well. Instead of wearing both of the straps clasped, wear one unclasped, folding down the panels on both sides of the overalls. This variation looks great with the crop top and a flannel. If you aren't really into wearing jeans all the time, try a pair of holey tights or hose to create the full grunge effect. Courtney Love would often pair her baby doll dresses with ripped tights. Buy a pair of neutral-colored or printed tights. In the same fashion as the jeans, rip holes and runs in the fabric of the legs. Match these tights with printed skirts or dresses. You can even wear them under your jeans.  You can layer multiple layers of tights on top of one another, with holes at different places on each pair. This adds a little extra texture to your outfit, especially if the tights or hose are two different colors or patterns.
summary: Buy baggy, ripped, or patched jeans. Try an A-line printed skirt. Wear overalls. Wear ripped tights or hose.
