Can anyone offer recommendations for food and water dishes for pet pigeons? I've been using things like styrofoam bowls with rocks in the bottom, and other make-shift contraptions, but they keep getting tipped over or pooped in or some similar fate...

i give my pigeons a low wide white dish (plastic) so even if they step on the edges its too wide to tip at all and for some reason i notice dmy pigeons only eat and drink out of white containers. the water dish is heavy glass so it wont tip over

Here's a picture of some of the things I use. The 3# coffee container is there for scale.

The green one has hooks that fit over the bars of a cage. It holds about 1 1/4 cups.

The purple bowl is a heavy crockery that is hard to tip over. It holds 1 1/4 cups

The yellow bowl is a heavy plastic crock that is also hard to tip over. I use that one for seed. This one holds about 2 cups of seed.


Each is inexpensive and can be found at most larger pet shops. The crocks your might find in the rabbit/rodent part of the store and they come in various sizes.
I like the little containers with the hooks for grit and one for oyster shell.

I use the plastic 'cup' kind that hook on the side of the aviary or cage.
They work great.

That's the kind I use for the grit and oyster shell. They have become hard to find here. I really like them.

I use the zip lock twistable plastic container sold almost anywhere.. you get 4 in a pack for like 5 bucks.. I twist the lid on... and turn it over and with an exacto knife I cut along the ridge to remove the bottom.. you can use a dremmel tool or sandpaper to sand the edges! This way when they "flick" the seeds... they stay IN the container! food and water dishes 142829 Works great!

For the pigeons in the loft I use a plastic chicken waterer. If they need to stay in the house use the hook-on cups.
