| More helpful warning tips Open containers of water outside of the cage can pose a drowning risk for pet birds. Examples of such open water sources are sinks, commodes, pots of water, fish bowls, etc. Household chemicals, industrial chemicals and some plants can be potentially poisonous to your birds so use precaution when using chemicals around your birds and when placing cages or birds next to plants.
