THE BEST NO MESS FEEDER FOR AMAZON PARROTS

Amazon parrots are big, clever and messy eaters, and the large Seed Cube is built for exactly that. It holds a full diet behind a clear acrylic panel mounted inside the cage, so your Amazon feeds by climbing and foraging rather than tipping a bowl. That keeps husks and dropped seed contained, and it gives a busy mind something to do.

Care Notes

Common Feeding Mistakes
The classic mistake is an all-seed diet built on sunflower and peanuts. Amazons selectively pick the fattiest seeds from a bowl, which is high in fat and short on vitamin A and calcium, and over a long life it drives obesity, fatty liver and hardened arteries. A pellet-based diet with vitamin-A-rich vegetables fixes this. The second mistake is feeding from a heaped bowl: an Amazon will graze and gorge, so offer a measured amount through a foraging feeder and make the bird work for it.
Habitat Requirements
Amazons need a large, sturdy cage with room to climb, stretch and flap, plus several hours out of the cage each day. They are strong chewers, so provide destructible foraging toys and untreated timber, and rotate them to prevent boredom. Give quiet, dark sleep each night. Because Amazons gain weight easily, build in daily exercise and climbing rather than letting the bird sit and graze.
Handling & Socialisation
Amazons are confident and can be pushy, especially as they mature and hormones rise, when some become territorial or nippy. Learn to read their body language, such as flared tail and pinning eyes, and handle them calmly and consistently with clear boundaries. Reward independent play, keep training positive, and give plenty of interaction; a well-socialised Amazon is outgoing and affectionate.

THE AMAZON PARROTS MESS PROBLEM

Amazons scatter husks and fling food from an open bowl. The Seed Cube contains the food inside a clear enclosure, so most of the mess stays in one place. You still refresh and clean it, but the daily sweep around the cage gets much smaller.

SIZE GUIDE

WHICH SEED CUBE SUITS AMAZON PARROTS?

Choose the large Seed Cube for an Amazon parrot. Amazons are large parrots, roughly 350 to 700 grams and 25 to 40 centimetres depending on the species, so they need the large size to perch and feed comfortably. The small Seed Cube is for finches, budgies and other small birds.

MOUNTING

STAYS STABLE DURING FEEDING

The feeder fixes to the cage bars inside the enclosure with the supplied fittings. Mount it at chest height beside a perch so your Amazon feeds in a natural upright position, and check the fittings are firm, because a strong bird will lean and pull on it as it works.

WHY SEED CUBE WORKS FOR AMAZON PARROTS

An Amazon can live 40 to 60 years or more, so how you feed it matters for decades. The Seed Cube makes a pellet-based diet easier to run: it holds the food cleanly, makes your bird forage for it, and helps you phase out the high-fat sunflower and peanuts that cause obesity and heart disease. Honest note: Amazons have strong beaks, so pair the feeder with plenty of chew toys and supervise a new bird at first.

AMAZON PARROT FEEDING AND SEED CUBE FAQs

Common questions about feeding Amazon parrots and keeping the cage clean with Seed Cube.

Yes. Amazon parrots are large parrots, so they use the large Seed Cube. It gives them room to grip the front panel and feed in a natural upright position. The small Seed Cube suits finches, budgies and other small birds, not an Amazon.
Amazons have powerful beaks, so treat the feeder as one part of an enriched cage. The acrylic is tough, but a determined large parrot will test anything. Mount it firmly, give your bird plenty of separate chew toys, and supervise a new bird for the first few days until it settles into feeding rather than dismantling.
It cuts the mess a lot. Amazons fling husks and scatter food from an open bowl. The Seed Cube holds the food behind a clear panel inside the cage, so most of the husk and dropped seed stays contained. You still clean it, but the daily sweep around the cage gets much smaller.
Yes, and you should. An Amazon's diet is mostly pellets, so run the pellet base through the feeder and offer fresh vegetables in a separate dish. Using the Cube for the pellet portion makes your bird forage for its main food instead of grazing a full bowl all day.
Fix it to the cage bars inside the enclosure with the supplied fittings, at chest height beside a perch, so your Amazon feeds upright. Check the fittings are firm, because a strong bird leans and pulls on the feeder as it works.
It helps. Amazons are prone to obesity because they pick the fatty seeds from a heaped bowl and barely move for their food. A foraging feeder makes your bird work for a measured amount, which slows grazing and adds activity. Pair it with a pellet-based diet and a vet weight check for the best result.
Introduce it gradually. Put the Cube in the cage with the familiar food inside so your bird learns it is a food source, keep the old bowl for a few days, then phase the bowl out. Amazons are smart and stubborn, so give it time and let curiosity do the work.
Refresh the food daily and give the feeder a proper wash a couple of times a week, more if you are running moist foods through it. Always offer fresh water separately each day.

Meet the founders

An Aussie family brand, built for cleaner bird feeding.

Hi, we are Russell and Peita.

Seed Cube started at home with one very determined Alexandrine. After years of cracked plastic, slipped mounts, and constant clean ups, we realised most feeders were not built to handle real birds or daily use.

We set out to build something we would actually trust.
That same focus on strength, stability, and cleaner feeding now guides how we design feeders for daily cage use.

There are now over 10,000 Seed Cubes in use worldwide. We do not build feeders to be cheap. We build them so feeding feels easier and spaces feel calmer.
