CharlieB Posted February 29, 2012 Share Posted February 29, 2012 (edited) Hi, I'd like to know how often do you guys change water for Grey if the water is not dirty? Do you guys use spring water or tap water? Has anyone here ever added a little apple vinegar to water for Grey? One of the owners, also the breeder of my local bird store where I got my Grey from told me to add a few drops of apple vinegar to the water for helping the birds to clean out their system, but I hasn't done it.

Ray P Posted February 29, 2012 Share Posted February 29, 2012 My grey Corky never gets her water dirty so it`s once a day. My amazon Cricket dips her pellets in the water when she eats so it`s twice a day or more. Now my cockatiels poop in their water and their food dish all the time so we are always changing their food and water. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luvparrots Posted February 29, 2012 Share Posted February 29, 2012 (edited) CharlieB are you asking about breeding greys or family pets. We are not breeders here. I change my parrots' water twice a day, dirty or clean. They need fresh water available just like people. If I see that it is messy/dirty, I change it regardless.

chezron Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 I have a whole house water filter that removes chlorine and fluoride- among other things. I feel good about giving good, clean water to my birds. They love it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danmcq Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 I change my parrots water 2 to 3 times daily. They normally drop food or sometimes even poop in them, so we monitor them through out the day. WE do occasionally add a teaspoon of apple cider vinegar to their water. Normally about 2x a week. It was recommended by our Avian vet and is healthy for them.
