We'll see. I wanted to make sure they could open their wings further and not risk breaking a wing on a hard lip.

BTW, shock is an intense dose of chlorine. Bromine and hydrogen peroxide are usually used as safer alternatives to chlorine, but they aren't as effective.

A circulating fountain with a filter is probably a better way to go. There are a lot of cat and dog drinking fountains, we have a couple for our cats. One for a large dog might be the best way to go.

Chlorine shock might be fine to clean the nether regions of a Gorn but do not use for the proposed purpose!! There are many circulating pump fountains available which will perform same function...some even have filters.

In general, people rely too much on disinfectants to do the work of detergents. You don't want to / need to 'shock' a bird bath. Simply dump out the standing water and use a little elbow grease and a brush to get off the vast majority of debris. Bromine / iodine are absolute non-starters for use around wildlife. The sort of applications you're thinking of-purifying water for potable use in humans-are a non-sequitur for use as a bird bath.

After a thorough cleaning and rinsing, then you can apply a dilute chlorine disinfectant spray if you're particularly concerned about pathogens or high bacterial levels adhered to the substrate (clay, metal, what-have-you). Then allow to dry or off-gas. Then rinse. Then fill with water for reuse.

Exactly. Except the Gorn thing. I've no idea about whether or not a Gorn's nether regions [shivers] can be cleaned by anything known to man.

I’m trying to do a film treatment, and I need some help. As most of you know, the word “super”, which is Latin, is an exact synonym of “hyper”, which is Greek. Somehow in English, “hyper” has come to mean something beyond “super”, but that is not an accurate portrayal. In any case, Hollywood is insistent, they want something bigger and better than “Superman”. So, I am in the middle of constructing something I might call “Hyperman”.

Casting. How do we cast this character? My first urge is to cast Rowan Atkinson as “Hyperman”. I’m looking for someone paralyzed by indecision. Perhaps he could peek out of his rabbit hole to assay the plain before him. Friends of mine suggest Crispin Glover would be better suited, but I ask how long his tie will be?

There will be those among you who will militate for Johnny Depp to be “Hyperman”. I understand your point but remain devoted to Crispin Glover in the role of “HyperMan”.

How Crispin Glover didn't win an Oscar for his performance in River's Edge is beyond me. (Hyper sarcasm emoji)
