Abstract: A bird cage (10) having a feeder assembly (11) mounted externally of the cage. The feeder assembly includes a tray (63) having a pair of receptacles (71 and 72) mounted within the tray (66). A cover (73) rotatable between a closed position covering the receptacles (71 and 72) to prevent access thereto from outside of the cage (10) while enabling access by the birds within the cage and an open position uncovering the receptacles (71 and 72). With the cover (73) in its open position, the receptacles (71 and 72) can be removed from the tray (63) for cleaning and refilling while retarding access thereto by the birds in the cage to prevent the birds from escaping from the cage as their food and water is changed.
