Water

Posted by Ken on 3/23/2026, 11:41 pm

I have an old cockatiel named Huck. It is the 4th cockatiel I have owned.He knew how to get his water and now he can't get water. If you change anything in his cage he is scared. I think he will die soon if he doesn't drink more. Are there any foods I can give him to take the place of water?

If he can find his food, but not his water, there might be somethign wrong with him, he might be ill. PLease take him to an avian vet.

Meanwhile, you can get a little dropper, and put a drop on his beak so tha tit drips down and he can tilt his head to let it go in his mouth. one drop at a time. Slow. If he doesn't drink, take him to a vet immediately.

Agree, needs to be seen by an avian vet ASAP.
