Having Clean Water
23/02/2010
The two main reasons birds need clean water is of course for drinking and bathing. For drinking, this becomes more important for some species when the weather affects the supply of their preferred foods. So for example, Blackbirds would ideally feed earthworms to their young, but dry weather is likely to mean they may be more reliant on foods you put out such as Huskfree Advance. This type of food is absolutely fine for both adult and fledgling, but doesn't of course provide the level of moisture found in natural foods such as earthworms.
