Great advice! I rang the vet (why didnt I think of that!) and they said they hadnt heard of any problems in the other States. I think you've hit a good point Carl about it being cumulative though it would be hard to tell if its shortening life spans unless there is an obvious fluorosis, i guess you wouldnt know without a bird autopsy. I do remember staying in NSW for a while about 10 years ago and looking after someones avery while i was there and all the birds seemed fine and healthy with the tap water there too so it is a relief to hear you (Michael) say that your birds were all fine.
