I can't tell from the photos. Is there enough room inside for a feeder/waterer without being under a roost ?

Chickens absolutely cannot stay in there all day! This coop is for sleeping and to lay eggs in. If it is very cold, rainy or snowy they may choose to spend some time inside, in which case they might appreciate food and water inside, and yes you can use a nest box for that. They need a minimum of 4 square feet per hen to wander, scratch, peck, look for bugs, stretch their wings, and have a dry dust bath.There are plenty of helpful chicken books on Amazon, or your local feed store and library.

If Chickens are only in it at night to sleep do they still need food and water inside? Can you just keep it outside for them when you let them out in the morning? I am new to chickens and always wondered about this when I read about food and water in these...it confuses me. I assume some people leave their chickens in there all the time? Sorry I mean no offense just trying to learn. I've read somewhere some people just take the divider out or use one nest box with divider in place to put foot there...depending on the size of your feeder/water device. Hoe that helps some as my comment was more a question itself than a answer. If Chickens are only in it at night to sleep do they still need food and water inside?

I have a grey and he would have this cage in pieces in no time. I have six canaries in it and it's really nice. As far as the feed cups I have just put extra cups in myself. I don't think you'd want to use this for a grey.

The inside depth is 13.5" outer depth is about 14.5" What I'm not crazy about is the inside height from inside the tray to the outer roof sides-- It's only 9 inches-- Not enough easy clearance for larger birds but maybe most people prefer this. Also, make sure they send you either pole mount or post mount hardware! Mine came with nothing but then they sent hardware. Otherwise, seems good quality.

The holes allow mostly small birds, but there is enough seed that drops to the ground to feed many others. The advantage of the feeder is the seed capacity, it holds a huge amount. As far as the seed getting wet, I had this feeder out all winter and spring so far. The seed stayed bone dry!

YES! I have 18 parakeets in a over-sized cage with two of these feeders and one open feeder that came with the cage (cage does not fit thru normal doorways - it is big). Water is separate of course. I had to have something to bring them in from the cold as they stay outside a good bit of the year. My birds all get along fine. (We are in the process of designing a new outside aviary.) These feeders aren't full-proof when you have 18 parakeets but sure do go a long way to keeping things clean.

We have 2 parakeets and it works great. I think it's more spacious than the picture suggests.

You can definitely house an African grey in this cage. The bars are not too wide at all. I use this one for my green winged macaw. I have a smaller version with an open top for my African Grey.

Smaller birds can reach the food. Ie grackles and starlings. Blue birds and full grown cardinals had no luck getting into mine. Sqirrels did shake it a wee bit. Better than any feeders except the No-nos.

We have a green cheek conure in ours and he has more than enough room to be comfortable and flit around. He has several perches, a big swing, and a Comfy Cozy Hut in there as well. I would say look at a picture of a green cheek and compare the size to a quaker, oh and our Nanday fits in there as well with more than enough room.

It is a little deep for small birds. I put a small little bubbling fountain in mine (resembles a rock). You could always put a small rock or the bottom of a flower pot upside down for a platform for the birds. It has held up well through the winter in the South.

Absolutely, the bed is actually larger and I think that the feeder will also accommodate the size, although I have not used it that way yet.

Absolutely. I have a green cheek conure in mine, and she has ample space. The actual living space of the cage is 18" × 18" × 30"ht. I love this cage and recommend it.

there is an opening on top, not very big. I have an automatic feeder clipped up top, not very pretty but it works. Every time the feeder turns, it will bang against one of the wall. It is like Pavlovian conditioning all the fishes swim close to the drop point. Anyways I found the filter design for this aquarium is not good enough, so I added Chemipure 5oz pack where the pump is now it works out great! No more cloudy water.

There is a perch that sits about 2" off the bottom. Not the best because it's not fastened to the bottom and tends to move around, but it is useful.As for insulation, I have not used it in winter months yet. Was great in the summer as birds stayed dry and safe. Hope this is helpful.

I really don't know because we have a snake in the tank, but I do know that the bottom of tank before it reaches the doors is about 5" but I don't think I would put water in it. This is just my opinion. Thank you Wendy. :)

Yes but you will have to mount the perch near the floor of the cage so he / she is not cramped.

you can fit many it has 4 feeding/water holders and two large doors, my bird is lonely in such a large cage by himself so we will buy more, I would say 6 would be comfortable
