A few years back, someone posted about their parrot becoming seriously ill and dying (if I remember correctly) from mold in a mister bottle. Ever since, I've been extremely diligent about inspecting ours and leaving it disassembled to dry out completely after each use and occasionally flushing with vinegar (then clean water several times to wash out all the vinegar, of course). Not sure if it's mold or not, but I noticed something this morning 'growing' in the "tube" part that looks kinda slimy and gross. Since I cannot get in it to clean and sanitize that kind of thing properly, we will be recycling this bottle and ordering a new one. Just thought now would be a good time to offer up a friend reminder for everyone else to inspect your bottles as well
