Hi cockatiel friends, I’m looking for some help because I have a problem. Mochi, my cockatiel, doesn’t drink water on his own (he’s 2 years old). He used to drink normally from his water dispenser, but one day he drank from my glass while I was having lunch, and since then he has completely ignored his container in the cage. I didn’t notice it at first, until I saw dark droppings caused by dehydration. At that point, I put a glass inside the cage and it seemed solved, until he started pooping in the glass. Since then, I’ve been giving him water by offering a glass every three hours or so. I’ll be leaving in a few months and I’ll be away for a week, so I need help retraining him. Thank you very much
