    Hi! Skylar’s question really got me thinking what does happens if the bird overheats? But i’m also wondering what happens if the bird gets to cold will the water still evaporate?

    The reason that drinking birds aren’t perpetual motion machines are because the water in the container will eventually evaporate and the birds will stop drinking,
