keeping water cool
Does anyone have any suggestions on how to keep my canaries water cool on hot days. I thought about putting an ice cube in their water, but I am not sure if that is a good idea. I only give them bottled water as the water in my area is treated with many chemicals. I do not keep the water in the fridge so it is room temperature when I fill their bowls. Would it be ok to keep the water in the fridge and give it to them cold ? Any help would be appreciated .....thank-you !

Re: keeping water cool
I don't cold water from the fridge will harm your birds. The breeder of my canaries put cold water from the fridge in her canaries' bathing dishes. She said her birds preferred the cold water to the room temperature.
