You could, perhaps, only put it out in the afternoon, for a short period of time? Like a designated bathing opportunity. I'm pondering that very thought but of course, if it only appears for a limited time each day, there's a chance the budgies won't get enough time to start trusting it before it disappears again. Chocobo would be all over it when it first appears but then it's a question of whether or not she likes it. If she doesn't, she won't frequent it and then the budgies won't be encouraged, as they won't see that it hasn't eaten the chocobo. A lot of what-if's.

Yes, I just have mine running for a short time each day (or several times a day if it’s hot) but it’s still out when not switched on so he can still investigate if he wishes. Sometimes him flying to it is his way of saying he’d like it turned on.

I'm steering towards getting one of these things.
Probably a flowery one as if the spouts of water prove popular, multiple spouts will be better than a single one for my rowdy crew.

Ordered one with multiple spouts in the hope that fewer fights break out should they prove popular. I'm looking forward to seeing what the Flock makes of it! Berek & Loric landed on my shoulder as I typed this. Good boys 😍

Yes, I know it’ll be tough for you to take photos of them Loz, but try your hardest.

Yeah it takes time for them to get used to it and not fear it I think it depends on the bird itself and their level of courage 😆 Looking forward to seeing great flock pics soon ❤️🐥

Chocobo just took the briefest of sips from the new fountain. I was quite quick with my phone - but not that quick.
Progress!
I hope they wait until after I've vacuumed to give me s photo-op! It's embarrassingly messy!
