Stainless Steel Coop Cup with Hooks 150ml (5oz) SSC10 – Small Hanging Cup for Budgies, Canaries & Finches

A Small Hook-On Cup Made for Little Birds

The Stainless Steel Coop Cup with Hooks (SSC10) is a compact 150ml (5oz) cup that hangs on the wire of a bird cage to hold seed, water or treats. It is sized for small birds such as budgies, canaries, finches and lovebirds, giving them an easy-to-reach cup that stays fixed in place. The wire hooks keep it off the cage floor, away from droppings and scattered husks.

Why a Smaller Cup Suits Small Birds

A large dish in a small bird's cage often leads to wasted seed and water that sits too long. At 150ml, this cup holds a sensible daily amount, so feed and water get used up and replaced fresh rather than left to go stale. The shallow, compact size also means small birds can reach the contents comfortably from the rim or a nearby perch.

A Handy Extra Cup for Treats and Supplements

Because it is small, this cup is also useful as a second or third dish in a cage. Many bird keepers use one for grit, egg food, soaked seed or greens, keeping these separate from the main seed mix. Stainless steel resists rust, won't crack, and cleans up quickly, so it handles messier soft foods better than plastic.

Tips for Placing and Caring for Your Cup

Hang the cup close to a perch so your bird can reach it without straining, but not directly under another perch where droppings can fall in. Blow off empty seed husks daily so it is easy to see how much whole seed is left. Soft foods such as egg food or greens should be removed after a few hours so they don't spoil. Wash the cup in hot soapy water, rinse and dry before refilling, and change drinking water every day.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a 5oz coop cup suitable for?
A 5oz (150ml) coop cup suits small cage birds such as budgies, canaries, finches and lovebirds. It holds seed, water, grit or treats and hooks onto the cage wire.

Is 150ml enough for my bird?
For one or two small birds, 150ml comfortably holds a day's seed or water. For larger birds or bigger flocks, a 560ml or 840ml coop cup is the better fit.

Can I use it for water as well as seed?
Yes. It works for both. Many keepers use one cup for seed and another for water, and a third for grit or soft foods.

How does it attach to the cage?
The wire hooks hang over the cage bars and hold the cup in place at the height you set.

How often should I clean it?
Change water and top up seed daily, and wash the cup in hot soapy water regularly. Remove soft foods within a few hours to keep things hygienic.
