Because parrots often like to dunk their food in their water, the dish, has to be dumped and cleaned more often than most of us would want.
For that reason it is a good idea to not use an open water dish in your parrot's cage.
A better alternative is dispensing water to your bird(s) in a bottle.
The water stays fresh much longer, and remains clean and sanitary, unlike open water dishes.
Lixit Water Bottles are made with durable, thick wall glass, and they are dishwasher safe.
