30ltr poultry drinkers for pigeons

[DOVEScot]

I got these 30ltr poultry drinkers but the were too high for the birds so I cut about 90mm off the legs and to stop the birds trying to bathe in them I made a cage out of 2" mesh

 

Great if you are away for a few days and they tend not to freeze as easy as smaller drinkers, Chick might get to Blackpool now

;D ;D ;D

 

I want it big enough to suit my needs hopefully one bag of barley

Easy to fill and clean

The lid at an angle so the birds can't sit on it and roost or crap and it so easy to clean.

An overhang so the crap does not end up in the food holes.

The holes at an angle so the birds cant sit or crap into the food

Enough holes and wide enough for the birds to eat confortably without tossing the seed out

The seed filling the trough and not chocking or over loading
