![]() ![]() It is also quick to clean and doesn’t have any removable parts or grooves that can harbour bacteria. When using inside this is a durable, low-cost and no-nonsense feeder that does its job well.Īs it is a lightweight feeder (350g) it can be picked up and moved around with ease. This is perfect for giving birds easy access to feed.Īs this feeder does not feature a roof or cover of any kind it is designed only for indoor or protected use. It also lets you use seeds and grain of any size as, unlike many feeders, there are no small openings or tubes the seed has to fall through. The trough design helps to keep food inside the container which prevents food waste and keeps the feed dry and clean. The downside with “topping up” the feeder when it is not empty is that any remaining seed stays at the bottom while the fresh seeds fall on top and will get eaten first.ĭue to this, it’s best to remove the remaining feed before putting fresh food in and then you can put the older food on top so it gets eaten first. This ensures it is quick and easy to top up the feeder. The trough itself has a solid plastic bottom so you can pour in the grain all in one go and shake or level it out rather than needing to pour into individual sections. These slots give the pigeons easy access to the feed while also helping prevent them from climbing in and scratching the feed out of the container. This allows multiple birds to eat from it at once. There are separators above the trough that separate it into 8 sections. If you’re looking for a simple, practical feeder that can accommodate a large number of pigeons, the POPETPOP feeder is a great option. If you are going to be using a feeder outside then this isn’t the best option as it will take in water and the feed inside will become wet which can lead to mould. One of the downsides to this RentACoop feeder is that it is not rainproof so it needs to be used under cover or inside a roofed enclosure. The design of this feeder helps to minimise food waste and the cone top helps to prevent birds from perching on top of the feeder. The feeder also has a handle so you can move it around with ease. ![]() You can expect a full feeder to last around 3 days if you have 4 pigeons eating from it (based on 1 pigeon eating 30-40g per day). Unlike many other feeder options, this system works with grain and seeds of any size. Refills are easy as the lid simply pops off and you can pour in the grain. It keeps dirt, debris and bedding out while letting the pigeons help themselves when they are hungry.Īs there are 2 ports 2 pigeons can eat side by side, this may not be efficient if you have a large number of birds in one enclosure. The container holds 5lb (around 450g) of feed and the lip of the feeder helps to ensure the feed remains dry and clean. This may not be an issue but it could be an inconvenience if you don’t want your pigeons to use those ports and are concerned about mice etc. Unfortunately the set doesn’t come with covers to close access to the small ports (but there are covers to close the large ports if you are using it for very small chicks). It is made from durable plastic and comes with adaptable ports – the larger ports should be used for pigeons (the smaller ports are great for chicks up to 4 weeks old). This feeder from Rent A Coop is a great no-mess option that prevents food from being wasted. ![]()
