What water do you give your birds? I've been using Toronto tap water (which is generally good) but now I'm second-guessing myself. Is filtered necessary? Distilled? Spring water? Am I overthinking this?

I went through this exact thing with my Quaker parrot Pistachio! It lasted about two to three weeks and then resolved on its own. Hang in there.

I showed this post to my bird and they looked at me with zero remorse. They know what they're doing.
