Make him a bet and win. Im with you on not adding warm water . That sudden temp change is what makes most creatures sick . Heres' some trivia If you have a warm fish tank and it suddenly gets cold all the fish get ick (white dots on them) its a parasite thats' always in the water but only rears its ugly head with a swift temp change.

Well tommorrow Ill get the ice out of there pool, dump a few buckets of water in there and let them out, its 8:14 pm, so Im not going to today. I bought some fresh water out there since I havent gave them more water in 4 hours, and I watched them, and they would take a mouth full of water and dump it on there back, then pull the dirt water out with her mouth. There not that dirt, The 2 pekins are yellowish with some brown (dirt) in there feathers, ( and my male mallard is, really dirty. I think he will be the first to take a bath tommorrow, But he gets dirty fast , I have to keep him in a big cage, and let him out once I get home from school, or my male pekins will kill him. )
