We have 3 bowls in the cage at all times, and fourth bowl that is used for wet treats such as cooked foods and fresh fruits and vegetables. One bowl is next to the highest perch. In this bowl we put pellets. We also put pellets in one of the lower bowls. In the second lower bowl we put a dry treat such as seeds, cereal, or dried fruits and vegetables as in Goldenfeast or Volkman Seed Treats.
