How to get a diabetic to stop drinking so much water

[Michele and Peeps]

I have a cockatiel named Chip. Chip doesn't know he is a cockatiel as of recently. He has decided he would rather walk around on the floor than hang out with his neighbor parakeets.

Today, he decided to take a bath in the cat water bowl. (video coming soon)

Since this time, Peeps has been pretty much staring at the water dish with a WTF look on her face. She does not like Chipin flavored water.

(Yes, she has actually drank the water - but she spends more time looking at it than drinking it. The bowl will be scrubbed in the morning. I am not so sure if it will be for the cats or for the cockatiel.)

That is hilarious!

Peeps is probably thinking....go ahead, Chip, try that again.....you look close enough to a chicken for me.

He knows no bounds, but seems more comfortable in the feline dish, of course.

And for those of you who do not know the joy of owning birds, here is a small snippet of what life is like with them (recent film, but still several months old): http://youtu.be/nMTFyCmLE34
