Hello, I was Painting and I got out of my room for a sec, when I come back I found my bird ( cockatiel ) drinking the water from where I put the dirty brushes, i inmidiatly took her away and tried to gave her some fresh water, she’s fine right now, but I’m scared something happens to her, it’s she going to get sick? What do I do?

What do I do?
If it were me I would take the water and the bird to the vet to have it checked out.
If your bird only dipped their beak in they may be ok, but as you were out of the room it is impossible to know how much they ingested, or how toxic this mixture is.

im Trying to search for a vet, sadly on my city there’s not a lot of vets specialized in birds, for now my bird seems to be doing fine, I’m going to take her to the vet anyways
