Birdie Tip: Water bottles need to be changed once daily and checked twice daily. Test the bottle by tapping the ball in the tip of the drinker. Water should come out and bubbles should float up into the bottle. This habit will ensure your bird never goes thirsty due to a clogged drinker.
Bird Brain Information: Pigeons. parrots, and the ostrich do not have a gall bladder. The bile from the liver empties directly into the intestines as needed instead of being stored.
