Merlins dish gets changed once a day, however he's offered cups of water regularly throughout the day anyway, so he's pretty much got a constant supply of fresh water when he wants it.

Budgie's have 3 water feeders between them, get changed daily/twice daily, or whenever they're running low (whichever first ^^)

I change Nic's water at least twice a day. I feed him smaller meals morning and then afternoon. Water is changed along with that.

If I notice he has soiled his water, either with food or by bathing, I will change it again.

We don't have an amazon, but I change zig's water usually twice a day. She's pretty good about not getting food in it so that seems like it keeps it fresh. If it's a really hot day I will change it more just so it doesn't get really warm on her though.

I don't have any Amazons, but I change my parrots water 3 times a day...morning, afternoon, and evening. And as said in a previous post, if there is droppings or bathing in the bowls I change then too.

2 - 3 times a day

What? You change the birds water, Ive never had a water bowl in there.

Surely I jest, I change it once or daily or every 2 days. . .

The cage water dish gets changed everyday. They also have water dishes on their play/T stands so clean water is always available.

at least 5, Oliver likes to drop his pellets in his water and go back for em later, blekk

Two times for both regardless if the waters is dirty or not. They seem to like their water fresh, both Rio and Samba both go for a drink when I put fresh water in.

I am curious as to why you are using a water bowl instead of a bottle?

I know this wasn't directed at me, but I don't use a bottle because my amazon will shove his pellets up it and its harder to clean then a bowl. Also all my parrots use their bowls to bathe in.

I give fresh water twice a day.

Ambition is 1 a day but Polly is laying pellets in the water so I have to change water more often

 

[stephend]

Bob has a bowl in his cage, one on my desk at home and another on my desk at work. They each get changed once a day unless Bob makes a mess in them in which case it happens more often.

Actually, it was directed at anyone & everyone. Thanks for responding. Our grey actually baths by playing with her water bottle, she pecks at it and then trys to dodge the water drops while she squawks at it.

Well i change it of a morning and of an evening, and anytime inbetween then when its soiled, which most days can be up to 4 times a day! My Toby takes his food to his water bowl and puts his food in there, then eats the food, if hes got no water, he wont eat. Strange boy he is lol.

I use the water bottle s and add a dog dish size bowl to bath in .Pellets are an issue and i've found that placing bottle up high and on oppisite side of cage helps some.Breeder birds have auto system that is flushed /cleaned once a week.(on sunday)"cage day"

I change them once a day, but it's not water bowls, it's water bottles.
