Feeding and watering frustration

[quailmale]

All of mine are hanging from the roof support on a rope, can't get on top because it swings, have them raised to just below head height to prevent slinging food and playing in the water.

OK, it's good to know that my guy isn't just species challenged when he plays in the water.
I was concerned that he might be...a bit of a slow learner when I saw him standing in the water bowl looking like he belonged there.

Thank you so much for the suggestions, everyone. The idea of him being without food or water while I'm at work has been worrying me.
