The little dipping plastic science kinds, not the breathing feathery twitchy little things.
Does altitude effect how they dip at all? I would assume it would some. I live rather high on the side of a mountain in Salt Lake City, and my drinking birds do not care to function. Instead, they turn upside down.
I have tried to fix this by moving upwards the metal part where the neck connects to the legs, to make it harder to tip over, but then it simply doesn’t drink or bob. The liquid just bubbles indefinitely.
I figure my only course of action is to do the “paint bottom part black, shine a heat lamp on it,” but that’s terribly annoying. Is it malfunctioning due to the altitude, or just being mean to me?
That is a very good page, thank you. My Googling turned up nothing helpful (I suppose I was using bad key words), and HowStuffWorks.com didn’t really help much.
Hopefully Happy Drinking Bird can work now; he thanks you profoundly.
