My new budgie won't drink water from her bowl. What should I do?

Question

I got a Budgie recently and she’s been refusing to drink her water. I’ve been using a clean paintbrush dipped in water and she’ll lick at it but she won’t drink from her bowl.

You can try changing the water bowl type to see if it encourages her to drink. Some birds also like drip waterers (that would be similar to using the paintbrush, only she could do it on her own), or even waters that have a sort of sieve that can be drank from rather than a dish. Peruse the [bird waterers](https://www.petco.com/shop/en/petcostore/category/bird/waterers-and-feeders-for-birds) offered on the Petco website. You may be able to find something to use instead fo the brush.
