I don't know about hooligan, but I have switched almost exclusively to water bottles. Quail can get their water stinkier faster than any other birds I have. The bottles don't waste too much, and keeps the water and cage much cleaner. In the cages with a solid bottom, i put a heavy saucer...
Dang if I can figure out how to get them to work. No threads and a little spring, I can't get them to stay on the cage with a full bottle of water. What am I missing here?
