Filtered water fountain

[Featheredfriend]

Hello Everyone! I was wondering if anyone has bought or made a water fountain for their aviaries that also filters the water for their birds. I feel so bad that my finches always poop in their water and that it is almost impossible to keep their water clean.

Wow. I can’t believe no one has replied to this query. I’m new to finches. I have a pair, two week old babes in the nest, am deeply in love with them and am very interested in an aviary fountain.

Yep I have one i have a plant pot with loads of stones in it and a water pump in the middle that filters out the water and dprays water out the top when it’s sunny as it’s solar panel I’ll add a pic below,my finches love catching. The water when it squirts out and also bath in the mini rock pools

First time I've seen yer do something practical Fraza.....lol

Nice one, well done

[Fraza]

Stuart whiting don’t know weather to take that offensive or not how dare u lol and they quite good I thought the birds would be scared of the water that flys out but they actually not

A filter will catch the particles but won't filter disease--fungus, bacteria or viruses.

I'd think that organisms could take up residence in the pores of the stones, too.

I can't see how that would keep clean long term. For this reason they have a water silo they can't poop in which is cleaned daily. And a shallow dish of water is also given every day for bathing.

kyle it doesn’t keep it clean for very long term it’s abiut a month or two then it needs cleaning

I'm only playing with yer Fraza, just a bit of banter mate

Most birds like being around water and bathing and proves there fit and healthy
