Hello,
Yesterday we installed a cup-watering system. The brand is Easy Garden and we ordered it from McMurray Hatchery. There is a picture here:

However, I can't figure out how it is supposed to work. The installation was easy enough, but to get water into the cups, you have to hold down the yellow levers - how are the birds supposed to get water from it? So far I have only seen one bird peck at the yellow lever, which I'm not sure is effective. It seems like not much water is ever in the cups at one time.
I want to make sure I'm not doing something wrong here. If anybody has experience with these (I know Mrs. AK-Bird Brain does from her coop design page), I would love some insight. The product does not come with any explanation of how the birds are to use it and MM's and Easy-Garden's websites aren't any better...
Until I can make sure they won't die of dehydration, I've left their regular waterer in there too.
Thanks in advance for any insight.
