| We use several shallow feed trays and dishes in our bird cages. This allows the birds more choice of where they'll perch and eat, (avoiding traffic jams) and less chance that any fresh foods will spoil. We make our own eggfood using Roy Beckham's eggfood recipe, and form into logs in the "waterbottle" type of ice cube trays shown below in Fig-3 and freeze over night. When they are frozen we then place the logs in ziplock baggies and store them in the freezer until used. This assures that even when we are pressed for time to get to work, our birds can have good quality food in a hurry. We always provide a variety of other things to eat in addition to the frozen logs - Ben Franklin suggested something like.... "All things in moderation." |

| Fig-1 This is a very shallow dish we use in the regular cages for food. It is also particularly good in the hospital cage for food or water, if you are trying to give your bird rest from perching due to illness or injury. We got it at Petco for about $3.99 | Fig-2 We chose this food dish - which comes in a 2 pack in various colors for $2.89 at PetSmart because it is shallow enough they can easily forage through the food but the food in it won't spoil over the course of a full day. | Fig-3 This ice cube tray comes in a 3pack from Bed Bath and Beyond for about $4.99. Linens and Things also has them and sometimes Target does too. Ideal for making frozen food logs that fit perfectly in the food dish shown at the left. |
