- Bird Lovers,
-
- My English Budgies like any water running anywhere. In Zambia, I used
- to take my Budgies outside and run the tap in the front yard. They loved
- that because there was plenty of long grass under the tap. In the wild,
- Australian budgies will often bathe in the dewy spinifex, since standing
- water can be rare in the outback.
-
- Here in San Francisco, my budgies absolutely love a terracotta dish filled
- with water that can plants in it, like parsley, lettuce, grass or any
- greens. They prefer that to plain water. However, one bird loves water to
- fall on him: he tries to catch the water with his beak --- evidently loving
- every minute of it, as he puffs his feathers out in a very relaxed attitude.
-
- Cheers
