Water temp

My birds get the filter water from the refrigerator too...nice and cold. Mango will try to take a bath in it if I give him warm water.

almost all species of parrots bred in some parts of the USA have experienced

I am in agreement with the people that said tap temperature is fine. a more important part of drinking water is changing it so it will not have slime on the side of the bowl or discoloration by pellets or other eatables. This is one ot the disadvantages of having a water container that only has to be changed every week or more. If you live in my area we all know the saying of "slime" in the ice machine? so fresh clear water and out of the sun if your feathered friend is outside. Don't let anything hurt your joy!

I don't know of any water containers that need changing and washing less than once a day (MAYBE you can get away with leaving water in a bottle for two). What type of water container are you refering to?
