Container: Habits are irregular; in wild, cockateels walk through grass heavy with dew. Use large container such as large flower pot saucer; fill container with water and place in cage at same time each day in early morning. Remove container after about an hour, whether or not birds have bathed.
• Beds and borders against walk are particularly prone to drying out and need zr watering.
• Plants in tubs, pots, and particularly hanging baskets will need regular applications of water through the summer because they can dry out very quickly. When filling the container with compost, leave a gap between the surface of the soil and the rim of the container to allow a sufficient amount of water to be applied. Water when the top lin of the container compost dries out; aim to keep it always damp but not sodden. |
