It doesn't seem to be. I use a good slug of CS in each birdbath when we
clean and refill them every evening. Sometimes I let it go without a
week or so. But mostly we put it in. It helps keep the baths from
getting that pink slime, and it did get rid of the black/green stuff
(algae?) in the bird fountain, too.
We have been doing this for years, and I think if it hurt the birds,
with the numbers we get daily, we'd be seeing a lot of dead ones. As it
is the rate of disease we see in the birds is now almost none. We used
to see a lot of those deformed, bald swollen eyes, and bald lumps on
their heads. I forget what the name of the diseases are, but I looked
them up once, and they are very contagious. Our birdfeeding area is
largish, and we have a lot of feeders and a large number of bird
visitors daily. During the day, the birdbaths get rinsed out and
re-filled at least once a day in addition to the evening rinse and fill,
sometimes up to 3 times a day because they get so dirty.
