Please be aware that all ‘newer’ water heaters have a zinc rod
installed in them to slow the corrosion process caused by other
minerals in the water. Therefore, ZINC IS PRESENT in all warm/hot water that comes from any tap in your home. I only use filtered cold water that has come to room temperature to bath/mist my birds. They love to get wet and used to take showers with us, however, 12 years ago after my favorite cockatiel died was when we learned of the ZINC problem. We had indeed installed a new water heater, our water dept. tested our water from the kitchen tap and it was “off the charts” for ZINC. The cause of my bird’s death was ZINC POISONING…had to give the other 4 cockatiels and the cockatoo chelation shots for several weeks to rid their systems of the heavy metals.
