That raptors require little water is a big lie in old falconry texts My raptors enjoy a fresh clean bath pan and jump right in it when offered. The Harris hawks especially love to bathe between shows. I also offer them water during flights on the T post. I put a short cup held with velcro (4 inches) high on the T post and the willingly come in and take a drink during hot flying sessions. Especially on abatement work where they need to be up in nearly all day long.
Now to bath pans. I keep a special cheap, 'swishy' broom for cleaning the gunk out of the pans. Once a week or so I bleach them (not to often, for bleach makes plastics brittle). Just enough to break the 'slime'. Hydrogen peroxide is gentler for this too.
We have 'limey' water so I get lime build up in the pans. So I took time to really clean them today:

I mean REALLY clean my bath pans. Had some lime/scuz buildup that scrubbing would not remove. So, out came the Lysol Toilet Bowl cleaner that removes lime and rust. Let it set for a few minutes, then swished with the broom and let it sit again (7 large bath pans here). One was extra stubborn and required a scouring with a stainless scrubber to get that stuck on lime out. But now they all new fresh and new after this. I have heavy duty bath pans at home that are from Lowes. They are the round 'goldfish pool' ones. Lightweight with rim but very durable in the intense Florida sun.
