I bought this bowl for water for my 2 Cockatiels and they love it! I am actually going back today to replace all their bowls with this type. Very sturdy, easy to take out and quickly goes back into place. I would highly recommend this product for any type of bird!
Pros: durable, easy to clean, Spillproof

My Senegals love these beautiful crocks and never try to chew them. They are also sturdy enough for them to bathe in unfortunately! But it's still cute to watch regardless. However, larger breeds should be given the stainless steel bowl version because they will shred these to pieces. I also use these for my rats so they can't tip them over. They nibble on them a bit, but not too much that it would need replaced quickly.
Pros: durable, easy to clean, Spillproof

If your bird is knocking down bowls, these are great, inexpensive replacements.
One downside is their bulky look.
Pros: durable, Spillproof

I have three of these dishes. Two for my parakeets and one for my rats. I got these because all my pets were knocking over their other dishes and spilling food everywhere. I love these because they lock into place and can't be spilled.

I have these 10oz crocks placed throughout the cages of both my Jardine's and my Hahns macaw, along with several empty crock holders. They help me provide my birds with ample opportunities for foraging, and are great for both dry and wet foods (like mash diets and sprouts) that just can't be used in many other foraging toys.
I fill each one with EcoBedding and a half a teaspoon or so of food, cover them with several layers of untreated paper zip tied in place, and place them all throughout the cages, on play gyms, etc.
Easy to clean, easy to take in and out of the cage, easy to move around the cages, durable (at least for my small/medium birds), and inexpensive.
As another reviewer mentioned, I would love to see an all metal/stainless steel version of these dishes, as I also use the 20oz crocks for my group of six large male rats, who do chew them and have figured out how to turn the crock and throw it, or steal it (food and all) and hide it away from the others.
Pros: easy to clean, durable

I bought the large version of this cup for my blue & gold macaw as a water bowl. I needed something he couldn't tilt & tip, and something easy to remove and dump several times a day.
The bowl did seem to serve the purpose. It screwed on tight enough he didn't tip it too badly, and it was very easy to change. Problem is that he's since chewed it to bits and the sharp edges produced by them biting pieces off the bowl are sharp & dangerous.
Would be a great idea in a METAL version.
Pros: easy to change, easy to clean
Cons: not large parrot proof, can be chewed & broken producing sharp edges

I made a gym for my African Grey and I ran into the problem at the end of building it, where to put dishes? These worked great! They are strong enough for him to stand on and attempt to take baths in. Easy to clean!!!

We have these for our small to medium birds. We love them. They stay put without the bird tipping them over. They are easy to clean and we find that you don't have so much seed out of your cage.
