Besides this style; http://www.petsolutions.com/C/Bird-Food-Cups-Dishes/I/Stainless-Steel-Clamp-On-Cups.aspx
Anyone have any other bowls that attach in a similar way and are easy to get in and out?
We were at the pet store the other day for supplies and the only other one they had looked like a real pain and not easily accessible to be getting in and out of the cage.
The Conure boys have these ceramic souffle like bowls that just sit on the bottom of their cage for their food.  Their water bowl is like the link I attached....they don't usually mess around with the water bowl but I know if I had bowls like that for the food they would be flipping the bowls out of the holders slaph...no matter if I got a HY sized bowl!  The problem I have with the bowls now is they move them all over the cage, poop in them, and often knock all the food out of them.  I wouldn't mind so much except when they are spilling out all their food or getting poopies in them.  It amazes me at how strong they are...even when I put their "jacuzzi's"  in there which are regular ceramic cereal type bowls they shove them to anywhere around the cage!
Any ideas on some better bowls? dknow

I use these with my greenies, you just twist them once and lift to get them out. They have not figured out yet how to get them out.
I think they are called lock n crock...or...lock crock...or...something like that

For some reason I think I have one of those from a long time ago...I will have to go search.
They come off and on easy?
Taj and Mahal have the other metal bowls that just rest in the holder, they don't flip theirs out but Taj loves to lift and drop it with breakfast....I think she is trying to mix the food up and get to only the "good stuff"  hardlaf

i had a heck of a time with skittles. he chews up quick crocks and removes the ones like you have in the link. so i got this

http://www.tractorsupply.com/midwest-reg-homes-for-pets-snap-y-fit-trade-stainless-steel-pet-bowl-1-qt--2450594

i KNOW i saw it at an internet pet supply in the last week. thought it was petsolutions, but cant seem to find it on their site.  they had it in 4 sizes.

http://mw.factoryoutletstore.com/cat/15973/Midwest-Dog-Crate-Bowls.html

this is the site for the maker and the price is HORRIBLY inflated. i KNOW i can find it cheaper somewhere. i'll keep looking but the maker is midwest homes for pets. it slides in and even skittles cant figure out how to get it out cause it easily rotates in the ring without coming out. but its easy for us humans to take in and out. i have used it for 6 months or more and i take it out and put it back at least once a day, so far it shows no wear and tear.

here are a few links to try

I think we will take a jaunt one day to the tractor place.  Those bowls do look great but I think they may be too large?  They do have a few other kinds there as well.  Some listings (on any kind of item) I wish they would sometimes post better pics and descriptions.  Like the one type of crock out is not really user friendly....I would be eaten alive by the time I got the thing out!  Although the one bowl may be ok if I just use one and not two?  I will know better when I see them in person.

I must have missed the last link!  They have the bowls smaller thumb

 dmblaf I just found those bowls on Ebay! in the 10oz size!  They are 3.99 or best offer....whoohoo!  Think I will put an offer on 2 of them and see if they accept it although 3.99 is a good price but worth a shot to save some $!
