Cortneypenn Posted April 21, 2007 Share Posted April 21, 2007 My Kaitlynn makes HUGE messes with her water bowl. Has anyone used or is using a water bottle? How do you get them to drink from it? Is it less messy? I am debating getting one because she poops in her water and throws it all in the walnut shells and I'm afraid it will grow mold. . . Any ideas?

estream Posted April 21, 2007 Share Posted April 21, 2007 Aloha Cortneypenn, I think to some extent we are all doomed to a life of greynedos :-) Small price to pay for the honor :-) I'm curious to learn what others think on the matter ... Personally, I go with quick locks in Chloe's home (she loves playing in her water far too much to deny her) and a lixit in her carrier for no spill easy access. As for encouraging her curiosity, I suggest showing her how it's done. It sounds a little cheesy, but I've found the more fuss I make with her new things, the more interest Chloe has for them. Step it up each day, taking care to keep both options available during your attempt at transition. With a little luck and infinite grey-loving patience, it's all good. However you choose to go, you'll still need to change the water each day, but it could address your short term contamination concerns... I wish you and Kaitlynn well!<br><br>Post edited by: estream, at: 2007/04/21 08:34 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted April 21, 2007 Share Posted April 21, 2007 Cortneypenn welcome to the forum, I hope you will enjoy it here I've only got two lovebirds so that's not the same, but I find the water bottles indeed less messier. However, if Kaitlynn enjoys playing with the water maybe you should also take that into account - as Estream says. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
birdgranna Posted April 23, 2007 Share Posted April 23, 2007 Certainly water bottles are better but my female grey destoys it or knocks it to the ground, so I have had to go back to bowls.I have ordered a very sturdy bowl that she will not be able to dismantle or destroy.It is from ExoticWings. They have a website. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
