How to set up your new Seed Cube
Just purchased your new Seed Cube?
This series will guide you through installation, filling, cleaning, and fitting tips so you can get the most out of your feeder.
Installation Steps
How to set up your new Seed Cube
Mounting Options
Your Seed Cube includes two sets of hooks. The universal fit hooks are designed for cages with unusual bar layouts. The Talon-Hook system is made for a strong and secure fit on standard horizontal bars. To install, screw the hooks into the top or back of the Cube depending on your setup. You can position the Cube inside or outside the cage depending on your preferred feeding setup.
Secure Placement
You can mount the Seed Cube outside the cage over an open feed door, or inside the cage in a comfortable spot for your bird. Choose a horizontal bar that keeps the Cube’s opening aligned with the cage entry. For internal setups, place a branch or perch at the entry point to help your bird access the Cube easily.
Filling & Cleaning
How to look after your new Seed Cube
Filling the Cube
Fill the Cube through the main opening with your bird’s favourite seed or pellets. The design holds a generous amount of food, making it ideal for daily use without constant refilling. Only add what your bird needs for the day to reduce husk build-up and make cleaning easier.
Filling the Easy-Tray
If you are using the Easy-Tray, fill it with your bird’s staple diet and slide it into the bottom of the Cube. Whether you have the small or large version, the process is the same. The small tray just does not include the divider. It is simple to load and makes daily feeding easier.
Cleaning the Cube
To clean, tip the Cube into a bin to remove old seed or husks. Wash it with warm water and a soft, lint-free cloth, then let it dry completely before refilling. Avoid harsh chemicals to keep the acrylic clear for longer. For any stubborn mess or stuck-on debris, soak the Cube in warm, soapy water for about an hour before wiping clean.
Extra Fitting Tips
Stopper Bar (Optional for Internal Mounting)
When mounting inside the cage, you may need the stopper bar to keep the Cube level. Test the position first, then attach the stopper to the back with the adhesive strip provided. This will hold the Cube steady and correctly aligned.
Advanced Mounting (With Universal Hooks)
When mounting your Seed Cube on cages with square or round tube frames, the universal hooks provide a custom-fit solution. Watch the video above, then follow the instructions below to drill and secure your Cube. This setup ensures a strong, tamper-resistant hold that keeps the Cube steady and correctly aligned on the cage.

- Drill
- 1.5 mm drill bit
- 3 mm drill bit
- Masking tape
- Marker
- Safety glasses
- Apply masking tape over the bar where you want to mount the Seed Cube.
- Hold the Cube in place and mark the hook hole positions onto the tape.
Note: Once mounted, the Cube will sit about 5 mm lower than your marked position.
- Using a 1.5 mm drill bit, drill a pilot hole at each marked point.
- Test fit the Cube to confirm the hole positions line up correctly.
- Drill the final holes with a 3 mm drill bit.
- Remove the tape and clean the area. Check for and smooth out any sharp edges.
- Mount your Seed Cube and confirm it fits securely.
As you tilt the Cube into place, the hooks will grab inside the drilled holes, locking it in tightly. This provides a very solid hold on square or round bar tubing. It is ideal for curious birds, as the hook ends are hidden inside the tube and are difficult to tamper with.
Important: If you are not confident using tools or modifying your cage, ask someone experienced for help. Always wear eye protection and take care during installation to avoid injury or damage.
