Problem is, a lot of products that are rated non-toxic to humans are
still toxic to birds. That's why I mentioned aquarium silicone
sealer, which, being safe for fish, is probably a safer bet for
birds. But there, too, there' s no certainty. Whatever you use, make
sure it's well-cured before the birds drink from it, and change the
water often, especially at first. I wonder, too, if bees wax might
form enough of a seal -- just depends on the nature of the leaks. - Marc
