Excessive Drinking and Urine

Hi. Kiwi is excessively drinking and peeing, urine being almost entirely clear. He drinks fairly normally from his bowl, but when out of his cage drinks excessively from the tap with one specific family member. Is this cause for concern or does he just like to drink from the tap with his preferred person? As for other info, he has been eating normally, but we are currently switching to nutriberries.

Thanks,
KiwiandLemony.

My Goldie is very similar. He eats and drinks normally, until I bring the cat fountain out when he absolutely gorges on the water. Only when the fountain is out, so it's only out a couple of times a week now.
There may be something about the stream and your family member (the way it hits the beak or how it fills the crop). Perhaps you could ask them not to run the water when Kiwi's around?
