SEED CATCHER

Post by B CAMP » Tue Mar 03, 2009 11:52 pm

Here is a catcher I made using a cat food container just made it but it seems to catch most of the hulls so far,I don't normally use the metal bowl but it works a couple birds will get on it at a time it just hangs on the cage bars.I will remove the label if it works out

HAHAHAHA... Sweet.

I gave up on preventing the mess. I just have a little micro handheld vacuum thingamajigger and i go once over every night before i put them to bed and then do a massive room clean every weekend.

nice idea, be good for live food as well any the birds drop would be very easy for them to find again. even Liz wouldnt have to worry about mealworms running away :lol:
Addicted to Finches, yes I do admit it.
I pray they never find a cure.
