Food bowl Q

Is there a food bowl out there with a lip that bends inward? My conure has dicovered to joy of flipping out his food with his beak. I figure if the bowl had an inward hanging lip, the food wouldn't come flying out.

Thanks

Doyle has figured that out yet thank goodness. Although I did see him pushing his food bowl around on the bottom of his cage, lol. If there isn't such a thing as those bowls, you should invent one.

This is what he is supposed to do. A birds main function in life is being food, and replenshing the forest. Be proud your baby is being a bird.

Oh I understand that!! I love all of them just the same. It's actually kinda funny to watch Bud do it cause he gets this indignant look on his face, almost like he's saying, "how dare you put this nasty stuff in my bowl!" & shoves it all out. I'll have to see if I can get a video of him doing it, it's pretty funny....

Yeah, good luck with that! Actually, I suppose it might help somewhat, and I'd be interested in hearing if you find anything. Might make it kinda hard to clean though.....
