Drinking Water

he helps me work, NOT!!
I have a 10 month old Meyers parrot. I used to see him drink when we first got him, especially in the morning when he ate his breakfast. Now I almost never see him at the water bowl. I keep all the dishes clean and changed every day. I did start to feed him fresh foods off and on all day, mostly fruit and vegetables. I give him seeds and nuts for a treat in the afternoon. He doesn't seem to drink then either. I have heard so much about how important water is for these creatures. I am concerned that he is not taking in enough just from fresh foods.
