Read About Choosing Bird Bottles-Bowls

A fussy eater may take a liking to warm food. Use a ceramic, microwaveable dish, warm up your bird´s food for a few seconds and see how he responds.

Things to Consider:

  • Keep Dish Clean - If you´re using the same bird food you have always used, but your bird is not eating it, you might want to make sure that the food dish is clean and that there is an ample supply of water near the food. If the dish is dirty, your bird may not eat from it.

  • Add Treat Cup - A "treat cup" is a good addition to your bird´s cage. It can be used for supplemental foods, such as rice, fruits, and vegetables.

  • Prevent Bacterial Infections - One of the more common health problems that veterinarians find in birds is bacterial infections. It is most commonly caused by water bowls. For this reason, you may want to consider a water bottle for your bird instead of a water bowl.
