I have the standard plastic containers that came with the finch flight cage for food and water. Now this doesn't happen all the time but occasionally Snow will take up the entire perch on the bowl and if Afrit tries to eat to Snow will peck at him a few times when Afrit tries to move to either side then eventually he'll let Afrit up. So should I get a bigger bowl like one of the round stainless steel ones ?

what are you putting in? I would just get another one, mine would rather have their own than share with the others (even if it's bigger) lol

I agree on getting a second food bowl. Having said that, mine have one each, but just siblings do, they all want to eat from the one the other one is eating from (even though they are identical, with identical food and at the same height in the cage). At one point they do settle at eating at the same time from different containers though.

I have a round stainless steel, flat container that I got at a pet shop. I put the food in that, at the bottom of the cage. They all eat together.

I have the same food bowl because I have the finch flight cage. I bought another bowl a while back just in case but it definitely helps. Budgies don't like to share!

Budgies don't like to share! I think my birds are just weird then. I have 2 food dishes and 2 water dishes in the cage, but they always eat/drink next to each other, no matter which dish is being used. |

Mine also seem to enjoy eating with a friend. It's rare for me to see one bird eating alone. Any combo of them will eat together, 2, 3, or 4 birds (no longer 5 - sniff!). I have pellets in a covered plastic dish inside the cage, and a child's plate loaded down with veggies sprinkled with seeds and Cheerios placed in top of the cage. I never seem anybody touching the pellets. They like what's on the plate on top and eat it together.
