I am just wondering if anyone has any thoughts/constructive criticisms on the new seed catchers I have started making. They do have a base in them and stretchy sides so the seed is caught and easily disposed of.

Doesnt the tray catch the seed ?

Nope, the budgies are pretty good at flicking seed everywhere! Plus that particular cage doesn't help much as it doesn't have one of those plastic bases with a tray in the bottom, it just has a slide out tray directly underneath the wire.

(Laughing out loud) lone ...... you know when the husks and seed fallout of the sides of the cage .... DER ....

 

Melbourne, Very nice .... I have seen plastic ones in the shops lately ...... No good as the birds will eat it .... Yours looks great and colorful too

I use a similar type for my fledglings and they dont seem to make too much mess, but the feeder is a jar type in the middle of the cage.

Yours looks great and colourful too

 

 

I also make them in all sorts of colours, especially stripes as this is very common in the fabric that I use.

 

Can I ask how much the one's in the shops were? I am considering making them to order (as in made to fit the size of the cage they are for) and selling them by post, any idea what I should sell them for?

Looks very nice I find a lot of seed or husks end up on the floor through flapping budgie wings and flying budgies in the cage more than anything

 

....of course....then there is those naughty budgies that get in their seed dishes and kick it all out ...just for fun :devil:

okay , what about a pocket in the back that has a cover sown in and you can pull it out and cover them up at night.

I am actually in the process of coming up with something similiar to that to help protect the wall from my lorikeet (flying bits of apple :(Laughing out loud): ) I like the pocket idea, I might work that into my design too.

Do the ones at your work have a solid base Jess or are they the ring type that just goes around the sides?

i seem to get seed every where sometimes even half way across the room. i would love to see some ideas.

Can I have one???????? How much are you selling them for??
