    I wonder how this works in the wild without humans?

      hmmmm… good question

      i guess that maybe get atracted to sun glitter that forms in moving(mostly) water in lakes and rivers and such instead of still water?

      thats the only reason i see for a bird to have a stronger instinct for shiny things than water, because the shiny thing is the water that is safe to drink

        You actually nailed it. Glittering is attractive to all things with eyes because it represents water which is needed for life. Thats why car manufacturers use chrome in specific areas like the logo or a line they want you to notice to attract our lizard brain.

        My first thought was bugs and berries looking similar to a marble, but moving water makes a lot of sense. There’s for example also cat fountains you can buy, because some cats won’t drink the still water in a bowl.

      Wild turkeys teach their young, through demonstration, how to forage, and avoid dangers. For a domesticated turkey poult the human takes the role of the parent & teacher. To top it off the wild turkey hasn’t lost its instincts through selective breeding like the domesticated turkey.

      Maybe it’s a learned behavior passed down through generations? I once heard that the reason housecats get stuck in trees is because they weren’t taught how to go down (backwards). Could be BS tho

    We do this with our dog if she get ill. We know she’s not drinking enough water so we but bits of cooked chicken in the bottom of her water bowl. She ends up drinking water accidentally while trying to eat the chicken.

      We do ice cubes with our cats

        I’ve tried this with my cats but the ice cube immediately gets shoved under the fridge where it melts.

        Are floating ice cubes interesting enough? Also, don’t they get brain freeze?

      How long do you leave chicken in the water bowl?

    Thanks for reminding me to drink water. I’ve had a giant tumbler of it on my desk all day and was wondering why my head was starting to hurt.
