How do birds drink water: A short note with a video

Birds, commonly, drink water by filling their bill with it then tilt their head back to make water slide down into their digestive tract a sort of lapping or swallowing action akin to of dogs and cats.

Many small birds prefer to drink dew drops on leaves of plants and grass on humid days.

Since almost 75 percent of a bird's body is made up of water and they drink water which is about 5 percent of its body weight

Birds, like any other living being drink water to replace the water loss from the body due to waste removal, respiration and evaporation.

However, pigeons and doves are able to immerse their beaks and can drink continuously, if they are at a safe place.
