FINCHforum

Hi

I have the problem that algae grows in my birds' water bottels quite quickly and I have to wash them very regurly.

Is there something that I can put in their drinking water that will prevent the growth, that (obviously) will not be damaging to the birds?

Thanks
Thinus

Avicleans by vetafarm is good.I used to use that but i now use Virkon-s.Some also use sweet water.

Welcome to the forum, what kind of birds do you keep?

Hi

Thanks for your interrest!

I keep mainly show Zebras and Bengalees. I am very much into the showing game.

I have however decided to clear out one of my holding aviaries and revamp it into a home for my latest finches. I want to house a mixed collection: Parrot finches (Blue faces), Owls, Gouldians and Cherry finches. I am still trying to find a reputable breeder for some Cordons.

Anyway we'll see how it goes and I'll keep you guys posted!
