This sounds like a good idea and I will have to try it. some questions though. Here where I am in TN you can't have plastic hummingbird feeders because it gets hot enough in the summer that they 1:spoil the food and 2: they melt even in the shade. Do you think that the waterers would melt or even with many changings the water spoil?

Also after they are taught to drink this way and winter comes and you have to take the bottle out, will they have to relearn again the next spring.


how do you clean the inside?

Ok I think that all my ?'s lol

I put a large water bottle on my coturnix cage last night - and they figured it out *immediately* - no teaching necessary! They are not quite 4 weeks old......

You can get them in big sizes too; at the local Petsmart. I never checked, but I think it looked like a 32 ounce. Watch at the $1 stores too, once in awhile you can find them there.

They may have to relearn to use the bottles. My one pen went without water all night, so I filled the bottle and I filled up a dish to let them get more water in them more quickly, and some of them actually were having a hard time drinking from the dish. It took them a little while to even realise that the dish had water in it that they could drink (but they were drinking the beads of water that were above the water line). But, in a few minutes they were fine. These were raised with a bottle since they were a few days old and are now about two months old.

All righty, I stuck the water bottle on the quail's cage and dun dun dun DUUUUUHN they took to it like a duck to water.

Thanks for the tip--I never would have thought to use it for them!!!
