Thats a great idea!

Only question I have is, can your bird keep his balance on the pot? Maybe have a smaller pot on the side, something for the bird to sit on while eating the greens?

 

The top of the pot is about at his shoulder, so from the ground he can reach almost all of the parsley. I was scared to go smaller since I wanted it to be sturdy. I will see if I can get a pic of him beside it.

 

That shouldn't be a problem then. A lot of the times the birds just pull and tug at the greens until some of them break apart and then they eat them. So I don't think you'll have any problems.

 

I don't think this attached right before... this is a pic with the bird next to it

 

Thats awesome! It was probably the angle in the 1st picture that made me think the pot might actually be bigger.

 

fantastic idea, do you mind if I share for my chicken friends online?

 

Please do share

 

That's really cute. Love it. You could also try covering some sort of planter with hardware cloth and let lettuce plants or kale grow up through the holes. Once they start coming up into small plants, just put them in the cage. I give my birds chopped kale and such, so it's easier for them to eat.

 

That is neat.
