We use and recommend water bottles because they are more sanitary
and provide clean, fresh water at all times to our birds.
Bacterial counts double every 2 hours. If you are unable
to change your bird's water and disinfect the bowl several times daily, you too
should be providing your bird with a water bottle.
Birds are very easy to switch to a water bottle. We have switching information
in our 'Avian Information' section.
