Review on 🌱 Optimized Foraging Systems Seed Corral No Mess Pet Feeder, Enhances Cage Hygiene by Terri Owen

Removes most bird seed

This feeder is a huge improvement over the traditional clip feeders that come with the cage. The design is simple but works well once your birds understand what it is and how to get inside. It took our birds a few days to get used to it. It took a little longer for the banana because she's about 6 months old and still worries about what's in the clear box when she's breastfeeding. Don't worry, your birds will learn that food is a powerful motivator for learning new skills. To help them, you can try putting some bird seed in the front compartment. The main idea is that the birds sit on a perch in the container and eat. When they scatter the discarded seed pods, the box remains in a mess. Now we see about 90% fewer seeds on the ground. The feeding area is large enough for 2 budgies to feed side by side, reducing arguments over whose turn it is. Cleaning and filling is done by removing the feeder from the cage (more on that later) and emptying it into the bin. Then pour the new lining onto the back wall and turn it upside down. The feed falls into the feed box and you attach it back to the cage. We chose to attach it to the outside of the cage to give the birds more space inside, but it also attaches to the inside. Removing the feeder is not easy as the small hooks float freely. You need to put your hand in the cage, hold and lift the feeder from the outside, and remove the hooks from the inside. I'm also worried that eventually the hooks will poke holes in the feeder and the whole thing will fall out of the cage leaving the door open for the birds to fly out. I will keep this in mind and may have to redesign a new mounting system if this happens. are likely to go insane from seeing the food but not being able to get to it. Kiwi crawled around the cage like a spider ninja all day, trying to find his way to food until I realized what had happened. sorry friends. I think I'll modify the feeder to include a tab that holds the door open but allows it to close when the feeder is removed.

Pros
  • Decent performance
Cons
  • Nothing
