JW Clean Cup Bird Cage Feeder and Water Cup, Medium

This bird cage feeder screws onto the cage and holds either food or water, so the same cup serves both jobs. The medium size is made from nylon and acrylic and has a clear hood around the cup. JW lists it for cockatiels, conures, lovebirds and medium-sized parrots.

A screw-on cup with a clear hood

The medium Clean Cup is moulded in nylon and acrylic, and its screw-on design is how it attaches to the cage. The cup itself is clear, so it does not block the bird's view while it feeds. Food and debris are prevented from dropping beyond the cage by a transparent plastic guard positioned around the cup.

An extended cup is meant to hold the mess inside the cage. The clear hood is shaped so birds feel comfortable while feeding, and the colour you receive is one of the assorted colours JW sells.

Filling and refitting the cup

The cup can be removed and refilled to give the bird a clean supply of food or water. Because it takes either, the same cup can be swapped between the seed mix and the water bottle on refill day. The screw-on design is described as attaching easily to bird cages.

Cleaning and keeping the cup

The feeder is dishwasher safe. Seed dust and dried food come off in the machine, so the cup can go back on the cage the same day. Store any spare cups dry until you need them.

What the medium size suits and what to check

JW lists the Clean Cup as fitting all bird cages, and the medium size suits cockatiels, conures, lovebirds and medium-sized parrots. Check your cage bars and the space around the mounting point before you buy: the cup screws on, so the bars need to take the screw fitting. If you keep a bird smaller than a lovebird or larger than a medium parrot, this is not the size JW names for it.

What customers say

Customers find the bird feeder easy to install and remove, and appreciate that it keeps food and water clean while reducing mess. The size receives mixed feedback, with some finding it appropriate for parakeets while others say it's too small for finches. Durability and stability also get mixed reviews - while some say it holds up well and attaches firmly to the cage, others report issues with screws breaking easily and it not staying on the cage.
