    Notes: Water bottles need to be cleaned daily with a bottle brush and detergent or anti-bacterials. Also, Dupont, the makers of PTFE (Teflon®), has lowered the product’s toxic-release threshhold from 530°F to 420°F. These products and similar coatings from other manufacturers should not be used around birds.
