What Size Bird Feeder Is Right for Your Bird? (A Guide for All Species)

When Liam swapped his two cheeky lovebirds onto a Small Seed Cube, he noticed something surprising. Their playful squabbles over food stopped almost overnight. Both birds could settle side by side without scattering seed across the carpet. Choosing the right feeder isn’t just about keeping seed in place; it’s about comfort, safety, and giving your birds a calmer mealtime routine.

Why the right feeder size matters

A feeder that’s too cramped or too oversized can change how your bird eats. The right fit helps maintain natural posture, avoids beak strain, and prevents wasted food. It also keeps the cage environment cleaner and healthier.

• Supports natural, comfortable feeding
• Reduces husks and seed scatter
• Improves airflow and cage hygiene
• Ensures safe beak and head access

Seed Cube size guide by bird type

Here’s a quick look at which Cube matches which species:

Note: Alexandrines sit right on the line. They can use both, but most owners prefer the Large for extra space.

Small vs Large — what changes?

Both models use the same thick acrylic, covered opening and stainless fittings. Their size and capacity are what set them apart:

How to decide for your setup

Cage space

Measure your cage before mounting. Full size guides are shown on each product page and our Bird Finder tool can help confirm which Cube is the right fit.

Bird count

Fit depends on species as well as numbers. Two budgies or cockatiels can share a Small, while larger birds like galahs or eclectus will need a Large. Use the Bird Finder tool to determine the best option for your flock.

Easy-Tray advantage

The Easy-Tray is the upgrade most owners choose. It slides in and out in seconds, catching husks and scraps, and holding fresh foods securely. This means cleaner cages, faster daily swaps, and less waste. Available for both Small and Large Seed Cubes, it makes feeding more versatile and hassle free.

Common myth

Myth: A bigger feeder is always better.
Reality: Oversized feeders can overwhelm smaller parrots. Matching the Cube to your bird’s size keeps feeding relaxed and safe.
