It would be better if you used F10SC or Vanodine V18 Carl

But also, the vinegar won't hurt your birds. Before I got the F10 I used to use vinegar for washing stuff as well.

My question is what were the bottles used for before? Was it just water, or was there something else in the bottles? Some chemicals can soak into the plastic and leach out with time - you want to be sure your budgies aren't getting something detrimental to their health.
I use a vinegar solution for rinsing after all my cleaning.

Recycling is great, Carl. Just be sure you know the past history of anything you are reusing.

Barrie - you say F10 is good in budgies drinking water - do you mean all the time?

Barrie - you say F10 is good in budgies drinking water - do you mean all the time? My guess is that Barrie would say 7 days every month
