Pet Forum / Birds / Birds / November 2007Hot, Warm, Cold
I know my birds have bath water temperature preferences but I can't read their drinking water temperature preference. Of course, it all ends up at room temperature, but have any of you noticed a definite preference for drinking water temperature?  SignatureSincerely, Joanne If it's right for you, then it's right, . . . . . for you!!! http://www.jobird.com Wonders of Western Washington Video collection: http://www.jobird.com/private/wondersindex.htm > I know my birds have bath water temperature preferences but I can't > read their drinking water temperature preference. > > Of course, it all ends up at room temperature, but have any of you > noticed a definite preference for drinking water temperature? Mine doesn't; at least I haven't noticed one. <G> I would imagine if they had a preference, the water that they didn't like would've ended up all over the floor just like the food they don't approve of. They can be such persnickety beasties. >> I know my birds have bath water temperature preferences but I can't >> read their drinking water temperature preference.

I wonder, if he was, if he ever verbalized a preference. Have you ever read this about him? My little GCC, Cricket, has always loved the coldest possible water for a bath. It used to freeze my fingers when I'd let it run in the cup of my hands for her when we lived in Colorado. She won't bathe in anything warmer. She sure is getting old. She's my first and I love her so much. It will be a sad day when she leaves.

Mine seem to like it VERY cold. I use the test tube set-up, and they like to lick the condensation on the outside of the tube when I first hang the cold water. They also like when I leave their toys and mirrors wet so they can lick the water drops. And when I put a wet romaine lettuce leaf on top of the cage, they lick up all the water drops before they start munching. Becky |
