Ideas for feeding set ups for small parrots?

[buurd]

I want to setup a feeding area where i can leave the food out all day and be sure my little guy doesn't poop in it, and I want it to be glass.

Does anyone know of a glass feeder with a top or whatever will keep him for scrunching down Into the food? Hes got a perch but he seems to want to stand in the bowl when hes done eating. His perches are not smooth, theyre textured with the flexi bandages.
I keep the food out all the time because he's small and he grazes.
I'm ready to try a cordial glass ;(

Well, if he poops in his bowl a lot, you can always move it to a position where it won't get pooped on, at least not from a perch. But I found a bowl you might want for your situation:

It's not glass, but it's the best bowl I could find online for you. I do recommend using it outside of the cage, instead of inside, because you want to use a stainless steel bowl for long periods of time. But it should be okay on the outside.

He's not pooping in it from the perch. He eats and then sometimes Ive seen him get into the bowl just to chill out. Hell get floofy and look like hes about to sleep.

I wonder if he likes the feel of the dry food underfoot, since these guys walk a fair bit in the wild. Is there something he can walk around in thats safe for him to be around? Like a little sandbox for small birds?

I dont think hed mistake it for a nest, would he? Its round, not square like the last dish. There are no nests around for obvious reasons.
Youd think there would be a glass option out there for feeding pet birds.

Thank you btw. Glass is supposed to be best, so thats why im looking for a glass system.

Oh carp...i just read something on lafebers site that says sitting in the food dish may be hormonal nesting and should pass in males.

My cockatiel is sitting in the food bowl – Lafeber® Pet Birds

Hi, my cockatiel is a male one year old and a happy one. But for the last 5 days he is sitting in his food bowl and making skreechy sounds. I would like to know the reason behind this kind of behavior

A few ideas
mini glass jars
teacup candle holders
glass paperweights

I have been searching many images, and there’s many possibilities! The thoughts are for it to be large enough for a bit of feed, but too small to get in!
Also, I would think shallow and heavy are good attributes!
Ah—glass paperweight candle holders! Hit every thrift/junk shop around!

Here’s an image search!
