Hi I was just wondering what some good feeding stations are and what setups some people may have in there aviaries I would be feeding live food, greens and seed any advice or pictures would be great because I would rather get it right the first time. thanks.

I've used hanging trays in the past, and it went everywhere whenever anything landed on it.
I now use a standard 'black cage' as a feeding station/trap, where. Put everything but dry seed, and I have the dry seed in a more dove-friendly open tray in the flight.
As feed bowls, I use Various sized coup cups for seed, but use mainly peanut butter lids for the rest. These contain a perfect size daily feed
Edit - should that be "peanut paste" lids??

Kitty litter trays with disposable ( chines food )containers inside that ... Have too many aviaries to wash dishes every few days so find the throw aways easier ...not so environmentally friendly but at the moment works for me .

I'm just perfecting some hoppers made from 3 litre milk containers that I'm extremey happy with. I'll get some pics when I get a free moment.

Please do, I have both 3 litre bottles and hungry birds coming out my ears!!

For things like feeding out live food, soaked seed and greens etc, I use the desk organizers one would find in a desk drawer. There are a few different types around but the ones I have contain one large section, two long thin sections and six small sections, perfect for a number of things. I also use the "saucers" you find under pot plants, works well for live food and seed, especially when placed in a kitty litter tray to reduce mess, spillage and waste.
