[da talkin fox]

iv been fooling around with different cages and feeders to see what works best. i tried rabbit drip feeders water is always clean but it tends to drip alot i also tried different feeders and waterers and they seem to always foul in the water and waste lots of food so what i come up with is a 2liter cocacola/ sprite etc bottle cut it in half make a small hole in it about 2 inces square so they can put there head through. hang it on outside of cage no waste on food at all they cant foul the water and everything is outside the cage so easy to refill and your also saving space! i think fo me they are better than anything iv spent money on they cost nothing to make and i replace them montly for hygene reasons. im sure someone else on here is using these for feeders heres some pics

not sure how to upload pics to be large lol

Be careful that when the food is low they can not get out through the hole. I use rodent bottles for all of my birds. Becareful which you use though.... some of themare spring loaded and some double ball. the double ball are easy enough for the birds to push where as many of the spring loaded ones are to strong for them.
