I have a cross beak that gets wet mash three times a day. I’m currently feeding her out of a little glass container. The issue is…she tips it over A LOT, which spills tons of the mash. Any idea of what would work better?
 
I would go to a pet store, tractor supply or order off somewhere like chewy and get one of those heavy stoneware small pet food dishes. I use these exact same ones from chewy for everything from my 95lb Akita, my hyper husky to my chickens and ducks. No one has ever tipped one over yet and I have used both the smaller and larger size for 3 years now. https://www.chewy.com/frisco-marble-design-non-skid-ceramic/dp/282516

Perfect thank you!!! I will get one!
 
Definitely aim for something wider and lower - cat food bowls, large ramekins, small pie pans. I do get birds walking over their FF bowls and tipping them but if the bowl is wide and heavy enough it'll generally tip itself back upright, and if not, they'll still eat it spilling out all over the place so it's not a huge problem for me.
