Water bottle problem ?

[adz1984]

I have decided not to use the water bottles and instead realocate perchs/bowls plus i'm going to add 1 more water bowl and see if things improve.
One more question is what do you guys use to clean yours fids bowls? I've been using 50/50 water vinegar

I just use washing up liquid, wash it along with the normal dishes then let to dry normally. I've got double the bowls so when one set is being cleaned the other is in use

I use blue Dawn dish detergent for pretty much everything, and very hot water. Bleach for non porous items when needed, and occasionally on things like rope toys if I'm dealing with a sick bird but those get a second washing after and dry thoroughly. You can also look into F10 as a disinfectant if needed. Regular cleaning for around the cage is usually vinegar and water, sometimes a little watered down Dawn as well (rinsed after of course.)

I just rinse them with HOT water and if the contents were especially nasty, some white vinegar too for good measure. I've always heard you should never use soap on anything a parrot will eat or drink from (or play with). I also add a couple drops of apple cider vinegar to Kiwi's water about once or twice a week (if I remember to), which is good for immune support.
