What's the ph of your water straight from the Tap? It's a pity we can't still excess the old Pigeon Chat posts. There were many threads on the ph level. I put a list of products and the effect they had on the ph level.
It's a pity we cannot test the birds gut after drinking water with a reduced ph. As a pigeons gut ph is naturally 5.32-5.89, does the bird reduce the level to this when it has taken water either by rasing a lower ph intake, or lowing a high one?

Never tested my pond since it was set up

why would it change if left fir 24 hrs as I belive its cloramine in the water now not chlorine that used to dissipate from the water if exposed to the air

Because I don’t have a tap all my water is stored so I wanted the same conditions
If you put tap water in a bottle look at the bubbles then go back and look a day later the bottles have gone and the taste is different so that’s the water my birds drink which to me means its sensible to carry out a test as the water will arrive to the pigeons drinker and not as it leaves the tap
Given a choice of testing in conditions my birds receive the water or not the way they receive the water to me there only one option
In ph level will drop in tap water left for 24 hours as the chlorine dissipates👍
