I'm not mad at you at all. Just upset about your mom not changing his water for 4 days. That is something that's obvious.........common sense, that one should know even if they don't know a thing about birds in general. Bacteria grows fast in water, and it HAS to be changed EVERY day, no matter what. Birds can get sick by drinking dirty water, just like humans can. The rule is, if you won't drink it yourself, don't give it to the bird either.
Yep, that's what I told her. If you won't drink it, don't make him. Hopefully she gets it now. Charlie's peacefully sleeping on my shoulder now.
