Highlighted Reviews

β€” Audrey

"The fit is tight enough that my cockatoo can’t flip it. I recommend snapping it in before adding food or water so it doesn’t spill when snapped in. The fit is very tight."

β€” Jackie

"The bowl snaps into place, then pops right back out. I tried numerous times, as did my husband. Maybe the bowl is slightly too large. We can’t use it."

Bottom Line

It's a good option for those who need a secure feeding solution, but be mindful of potential durability issues and fit problems.
