Bird Drinker: Fresh Water in the Cage
Water is just as important for cage birds as food is. A bird drinker keeps it clean and makes sure that only as much runs down as is being drunk. Models that you hook on from outside are especially practical, because you do not have to reach into the cage to top them up and your bird is not disturbed while it rests. The daily routine is done in no time.
Hooked on from outside
The Kerbl bird drinker for cages with 15 cm and 65 ml is hooked on from outside with a bracket. The bird drinks on the inside while you refill on the outside. That saves time and keeps unrest in the cage low, which helps above all with shy birds that startle easily. Because the water sits in a closed container, fewer feathers, husks and seeds land in it than in an open bowl, so it stays clear for longer. Change the water daily, even when the drinker still looks full, and rinse it out thoroughly on a regular basis.
Water and food in one
The Kerbl water and food dispenser for bird cages with 110 ml can be used for both. You fill in water or seeds, and only as much slides down as your bird is taking at that moment. That is handy when you cannot keep checking during the day. Even so, clean the dispenser regularly, because clean drinkers are the simplest way to keep germs out of the cage. Place it so that your bird reaches it comfortably and you can lift it out for refilling and rinsing without any fuss.
Frequently asked questions
How often do I change the water?
Every day is best, even when the drinker still looks full. Fresh water is the simplest precaution so that no germs can spread inside the cage.
Why a drinker that hooks on?
You top it up from outside and do not have to reach into the cage. That disturbs your bird far less and is noticeably quicker in daily use.
How do I clean the drinker?
Rinse it out thoroughly on a regular basis and let it dry. A second vessel as a spare helps, so that your bird always has water in the meantime.
