Birds not only need the water to drink, but they also need it to keep their feathers clean. Songbirds average around 1,500 to 3,000 feathers, while birds of prey have between 5,000 and 8,000 feathers. Each feather has a part in a bird’s life, and they are essential in terms of warmth, flight, courtship, protection and even defense. This is why it’s important to provide a place for birds to preen.
