Would this Bird Feeder work with This Cage?

I'm having to get him a slightly smaller cage than I wanted ( I really like to get BIG cages if possible), so I want to leave as much inside area clear for him as I can. I'd like to hang this on the outside of the cage, not the inside. This cage has the swing out feeder doors, not the lift up ones, so I'm a bit hesitant.Thanks all!

I use ours on the inside of the cage. Our cage has a base part that sticks out so I couldn't put it on the outside. We love it.

If you don't have a slid up door it would have to go inside. There would be no opening for him to go through to get to it on the outside.

I think it would; I got it for a cage where the door goes up. I purchased it for my canary, and it was too big. I plan to give it to my son who has two cockatiels.

We have a cockatiel that uses this feeder successfully. The opening the bird enters is about 3 3/4 inches high. The clearance from the perch to the top of the feeder is about 3 inches. Our cockatiel sometimes uses the perch, and sometimes she uses the outside lip of the feeder as her perch. I think you could use this feeder successfully with a mourning dove. These are GREAT feeders. We used to have hulls and bird seed all around our cages. Once we made the switch, that problem went away. We have three bird cages, one cockatiel on her own, one lovebird on her own, and two lovebirds together. They all took to the feeder quickly. The cockatiel likes to stand on it (and poop on the top). We think she does this so she can see the feeder in her cage. When we give her a clean one, she immediately "marks" it again. All three feeders are inside the cages, not in the openings.

I had just one Parrotlet in there and it was really roomy for him. I think you could fit 4 budgies, but I guess it depends on how much room they require. I'm not really familiar with that species of bird. I honestly probably wouldn't put more than 2 though.

I have a congo african grey and I personally feel this cage would be too small for him. I have a red belly parrot in this cage now and its just perfect for his size. He can flap / spread his wings out to stretch them; and he runs all along the bottom of the cage and there is no way my grey would be able to do this without feeling cramped.

I don't have birds but use these cages for rehabbing wildlife. I did buy this exact cage off of CraigsList from a couple that bought it for a Parrotlet and the cage was too big for it so the sold it and purchased a smaller flight cage.

Hi, the feeder has a space at the center of the bottom of it that extends inward about 1 1/4" with a diameter maybe 1/2" or so. I would assume that is exactly what it is made to do. I do not think bracket mounting would be a great idea, but might work if doesn't bend the metal base which screws onto the clear plastic. I just tried a metal rod for size while the feeder was totally full and there were no problems or damage. Keep in mind that the top must come off to add the seed, and after a few birds the feeder will be bottom heavy anyway(that's good for pole mounting). I hope this helps. later Hi, the feeder has a space at the center of the bottom of it that extends inward about 1 1/4" with a diameter maybe 1/2" or so.

I think it would be a great size for a parrotlet--lots of room to play and bop around. The medium would probably be plenty big enough for a single bird.

What types of birds do you have? I use this playstand mostly with my conure, who was scared to come out of her cage after a move to a new house. I rolled this stand up to her cage and left the door open. I lured her onto it with food so she could freely walk out onto it when she was ready. She felt more confident knowing she could go back to her cage when she wanted.By the way, my birds never used the "downstairs" part of the stand, unfortunately. They just poop on it!

I purchased this wonderful large cage for my spoiled cockatiel. I thought it was very easy to put together. My 10 year old daughter had to help me put it up on the stand, though because it's large and bulky. The only issue I had was something very minor with assembling the stand. If you get the cage, when putting the stand together, make sure you put the notches from the upper part of the stand on the inside. It should be a natural fit. I had put it backwards, with notches outside and that is wrong. It's an easy fix, however, if you goof. As far as a seed skirt, I don't have one, and some seed does end up on the floor from my bird who likes to fling it around. It doesn't bother me as I just vacuum it up every few days. The cage is extremely easy to clean too! I hope this helps.

Only if it has a place to hang. What makes it work is if the cage has squirrel weight on it making it drop down to cover seed ports. I have the large feeder with the cardinal ring and this one. This one the flickers, creepers and blue jays particularly enjoy because they can hang on the cage in any position. Brome, to me, is the best feeders on the market! We live in a rural forested area and its not unusual to have up to 30 - 40 squirrels trying to do anything and everything to get in the feeders. They even wrap theirselves around the cardinal ring and nap. Their only success is to do a flying assault to knock seed out on the ground. Only if it has a place to hang.

Hi, I have a Quaker parrot in this cage, and it is quite perfect for him. If your bird is bigger, I would not see any problems. As for the bowl lock, my bird cannot open them. I would be a little more worried about the main door lock, but they made it possible to put additional lock there. It depends on how smart and inventive your bird is, really. The door lock is much easily accessible, by the way.

No I originally bought the cage for my Derbyan Parakeet but when I got the cage it was only 18 by 18 - the picture and what they call a "large" cage are very deceiving. I kept the cage because it is nice for my White Capped Pionous who is only 9" long from head to tail and he is out on his cage all day and only sleeps in it. It was very dissapointing that it was only made for small parrots - I have four other similar cages from different companies and they house my conures. The advertisement for those cages were 18 by 18 and that is what this particular cage is. Hope this answers your question.

I really liked this cage, but it was too big for my conure. Since it opens on top, I think it will work for your parrot.

The pieces that the feeder come with extend pretty far out. Just keep in mind that the opening for the birds will be quite big and will allow large birds in If you extend all the way out using the wood supplied. I try to keep my opening small so as to only attact the smaller birds. You could get a handyman to customize your opening so you can keep the opening small. Also, something to consider. I live in California where the weather is mild and I don't mind that the fit isn't real snug. The unit is made with high quality wood, but using a bit of sealing tape helps to keep drafts out.. I would get a handyman to help with a more custom fit for a wide opening. Truly this is a great addition to my bedroom. Love getting up to little birds feeding nearly right infront of my face. Hope this helps. If you have any other questions let me know.

My bird did not start using it until I connected it to his cage with a rope perch. I hung the type of toys from the top that he likes. Eventually he started playing with it. What type of birds do you have? How long have you had the stand?

I know this is long after but this cage is absolutely too small for an African grey! A grey needs minimum dimensions of 32"w x 23" dx36" h without a stand! With a stand 55" to 68" depending on style! This cage is suitable for parrotlets, lovebirds, cockatiels, budgies, bourkes, Linnie's, a couple of finches or canaries. A Meyers,Senegal, Rainbow lory, Caique or Ringneck or any bird this size and larger needs a much larger cage. Please research a species thoroughly then get the largest cage you can. They need room to move and flap about with perches and toys in the cage. I know this is long after but this cage is absolutely too small for an African grey!

Depending on your parrot, If they try to escape or not and size wise, the bottom is a bit concerning but I places a zip tie at the four corners to keep the corners sercure. I remove them to clean. But the cage as a whole unit is suitable for parrots, I have a lovebird, and it's spacious for him. No openings seem too big, he hasn't tried to escape (as he is an escape artist) from this cage. It's worth it. What type of bird are you housing?
