That's a great one also Fincher..
I really like the idea of a bulk feeder and a husk collector. I'm working on a design to have the feed box outside the aviary and the feeding 'trough' inside and a way to remove the husks from outside also. I'll post some pics when I finally get to it.
If I could only figure out a watering system similar to that, i'd be set. Any suggestions?

i have seen ones like that.i have thought about changing mine one day to the same.But it would be a major expence.The husk collector was funnel shaped under the feeder so all seed husk fell to a round tube,which then went through the door into a calico bag tied onto the tube.Alowing it to be collected in the laneway.You would also need a wire floor on in the funnel allowing the seed only to pase.
