What does a parakeet drink? Can I give my parakeet tap water?

Your parakeet needs fresh water, daily. Tap water is generally fine, if you are sure that it does not contain a high level of chlorine as chlorine is harmful to birds... not to mention humans.

If you have the budget, non-chlorinated bottled water is the safest and healthiest bet for your parakeet.

NYC residents should note that NYC tap water has a high amount of chlorine added to it.
