Bird Feeder in Aviary

Post by tovis » Thu May 31, 2012 9:38 pm

Would something like this work for gouldians and cordon bleus if I were to hang it in the avairy?

It is an outdoor feeder, but I could put more seed in it and more birds could get to it at a time.

I use a similar one but instead of two heights and narrow posts it has a wider bottom which the birds prefer. I put a large plant saucer on a stand underneath it to catch what they toss. I will try to post a photo or link.

I think you would be okay as long as they also had another source of food one they are used too

I too use those that Charlie posted; however, you can get them soooooo much cheaper at WalMart. Any of the types shown would work. :roll:
