Hi everyone!
I have a weird question. Long story short, we live on a farm and have a tank system for water. While the water is city water I have never trusted that something might get in our tank (it is cleaned regularly but I'm just paranoid). So my birds have been getting bottled water. I would like to change as there is so much plastic waste but a little confused about what's safe. The current bottles they drink are ozonated but from my understanding, that's safe as ozone has a half-life of thirty minutes (or at least I think that's what it is) and should be out of the water waaaaayyy before it gets to a consumer. However, we have a water dispenser for ourselves that we buy big jugs for. I was considering using it for the birds as well. It is a self-cleaning one and using ozone to self-clean. Logically I would think this would not be a problem for them but I'm not 100% sure and can't seem to find much about ozone in water for parrots or with the self-cleaning. I know ozone in the air for them is not good but can't seem to find any other answers. Not sure if anyone would have any ideas but if you do, they would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
