A bird feed holder for a bird cage, the holder comprising a plate, a clip for supporting the plate within the cage, a mechanism for securing a bird treat to the plate, and a shield on the plate for preventing waste separated from the treat from leaving the cage.

A watering or drinking device for small animals includes a drinking valve operable by an animal and a hanger bracket attacheable anywhere on a wire cage. The device includes an actuating pin held within the valve cavity by a flexible retainer plug. The lower portion of the retainer plug is seated on a shoulder provided in the valve cavity and prevents liquid to pass through the valve. Lateral pivotal movement or axial movement of the actuating pin which is seated on a second shoulder provided in the valve cavity and in contact with the retainer plug, will cause the lower portion of the retainer plug to be unseated from the said shoulder and allow liquid to pass through the valve. The wing clip of the valve-bracket has a vertical slit and allows the device to fit either between two vertical wires of a wire cage or over one vertical wire of a wire cage. The wing clip includes horizontal recesses to embrace a horizontal wire of a wire cage to hold the valve-bracket securely in a desired position on a wire cage.

An animal watering apparatus (10) includes a dish (12) covered with a lid (20). The lid (20) includes an opening (22). A wheel (24) is rotatably mounted to the lid (20) in an upright orientation and extends above the lid (20) through the opening (22) and into the dish (12) to a position near the bottom surface (18) of the dish (12). The outer circumferential surface (40) of the wheel (24) is covered with projections or ridges (42) which efficiently bring water out of the dish (12) as the wheel (24) rotates as a result of being licked by the animal. A ridge opening (48) down a central region (50) of the outer circumferential surface (40) of the wheel (24) guides water back into the opening (22) where the water (21) falls into the dish (12).
