I have some of the ones sold at GunDogSupply. I HATE THE DARNED THINGS. They make a mess. That might be fine if your waterers are outside, but mine are inside. After the twentieth water spill I quit. One of these days I'll list them as an auction. Bah!

The ones I got are not threaded. I expected them to be threaded. If they were, then they'd work fine. However, they fall off the stupid soda bottles as you flip them upright and try to put them in position in the cage. They won't stay on unless you have something to rest the spout on directly (a wire or something).

I believe klubenatz SP ? It may be klubertanz, has the threaded ones I think they are out of WI. they sell rabbit wire and supplies

I did see some threaded ones elsewhere. It's a classic case of getting what you paid for. These were cheap...and it SHOWS. Then again, it wouldn't cost much more to make them with threads on them or something else to keep them from popping off soda bottles.

I'm back to using my previous methods. That means chick waterers and jars. Actually the little 4 ounce jars work really well for my button quail & the quart jars with chick waterers work okay for the coturnix so long as they are put on a base made of a couple of bricks to keep them from getting so dirty.
 
This is my pen for our giant Georgia Bobs...

Here's what I'm beginning with, sorry for the double post, this seemed like a more appropriate area for my pics.

Here's the waterer and feeder I started out with
