How hard is for older birds to know how it works? thanks

i haven't gotten my older birds or any others to catch on yet and i even know a bit about chicken care, Ventucky Chicken on FB -- i keep trying to present it -- nipples on a bucket bottom hasn't worked yet so i'm looking to try this pipe style as another option.

I really don't think the age will matter at all. I worried about the same thing, since my birds were 2-ish months old when I switched over to nipple feeding them through an automatic waterer. They caught on just fine, but I used a rubber band to jerry-rig the valves open. The water dripped out continuously, and pretty soon (within 5-10 minutes) they figured out how to knock it with their beaks to drink from it. I did this to a couple more nipples and then they just figured it out from there. Took maybe 15 minutes total and they were trained. No problems whatsoever.

Once the bird sees the water drip their instincts take over. They go right to them.

It was their first cage, so they didn't know anything else...maybe you can take old perches from their other cage and put them in this one one by one until they don't have any left in the old one. Hang in there!!!

It varies wildy based on skill level, but I think it would be alright. Just read up on how the flaps work and program them accordingly ahead of time. It's a tough bird, so even if you crash it the damage will be minimal--likely a broken prop.

I have an elderly and it is about the same size as her indoor cage. She is sort of low energy at this point in her life. The Cockatoos I!ve seen are in much larger cages and still have some major behavioral issues. You know your bird companion better than I could guess and I guess it would depend on how much time the bird spends in the cage.

This was a Christmas gift for my 6 year old grandson who lives in CA. He built it, was very pleased with it and said he is waiting for a bird to move in, this was as of 2 weeks ago. So I really can't answer your question.

It took a while for birds to figure it out. I put seeds on bottom area to get them to start using it. Once they found the seeds on bottom under hopper, they soon figured out how to get the seeds from above.

I started using Harrison's at the advice of the small animal vet, so I'm afraid I don't know the answer. Perhaps you could contact Harrison's directly to ask them? Phone numbers listed at this site: http://www.harrisonsbirdfoods.com/support/ Hope your bird does well!

Hello Bobbie...the answer to your question is "no." These little birds are having no trouble reaching the seeds. The only trouble they will sometimes have is waiting their turn as this feeder is very popular. I recommend purchasing two of these feeders. Happy Birding.

The book that came with it says yes to parrots! We just raised chicken eggs, very easy to use, good luck!

The instructions are very difficult to understand as it is just a series of small print pictures. It helps to lay out all the pieces and become very familiar with how you think it might go together based on common sense. Then go over each picture with a magnifying glass and try to figure it out. It helps to have another person to compare ideas with. Stick with it; the end result is worth the trouble. My chickens are happy with it and they are safe. I was unable to find any additional instructions or a video. And I seriously searched. It took me two days of frustration but I finally got there.

I have mine in a tree by my bluebird house but my birds have not used it. I have an open feeder they will use but a lot of other birds feed in the open ones as well. Maybe I'll try on a post in the open. It doesn't work in the tree.

Hi Catherine. I am very sorry but we will be of no help - I had two guys come in that do construction and they figured it out. Good luck, it is a beautiful cage when together and my birdies love it.

I think that you may have gotten my answer but all mixed up. I short I had 3 birds and none worked properly.

Check YouTube. There are some videos of babies using this feeder that were helpful to me.
