I would say yes, but I believe there are other, perhaps more suitable no mess feeders available.

My parakeet has the nird bath, and an outsid hanging feeder. He LOVES the feeder but will barely use the bath wich I use for his drinking water. He's afraid of it. Maybe because it is tinted. At first he wouldn't go in his feeder either. The only thing I would worry about is that if it's a parakeet or smaller he would walk in his food (they eat what they like first) and he would go to the nathroom in it too. The feeder has a separati g ridge that they ha e to sit on and not too much room for the food. Mine will still get in it once in a while, but for the most part the potty stays out of the food.

No. You have to tip it to put it on a feeder hook. You could use an S hook to make it easier.

I have not had the feeder long enough to give you an honest answer. My best suggestion would be to call the manufacturer.

I wouldn't try it. The feeders and whole mechanism are made for single sheets only. You will risk damaging the machine.

No. It is very small (same size as a small plastic mater bottle. If you want ease of filling AND cleaning, order the Perky Pet Hummingbird Feeder 203CPBN. Exactly same design as this feeder EXCEPT it has a LARGE opening (a few inches across) which is very easy to fill and clean.

I am afraid that it would clump up inside and not feed out properly. If you used "dry" feed pellets then this feeder would do a great job.

As you can see in the graphic, the feeder is suspended under the dome. I would think a 4 sided feeder would work fine unless it is unusually large. I first purchased the small dome, but then purchased the large dome, and it is much more satisfactory for my needs. I hope this helps. Blessings. navydoc

I have always found with these "automatic" feeders that you have to help the food come down and flow out fully into the feeding bowl. I've had a few of them and it's the same with them all. Obviously smaller sized food bits are better but you will still need to help it along as far as my experience goes.

It's very large. I wouldn't suggest it. I don't feed wet food, but, I have a very hard time visioning the dish being helpful. Messy perhaps, but, I wouldn't say best for wet. My opinion~

No it can't, it was to big to fit over our feeding hole even if the clamp was removable. Also, this feeder does not work well with flake fish food even if you brake up the larger flakes. You will inevitably miss a few big ones and that will prevent it from dispensing the right amount of food.

Yes, definitely. As a matter of fact I worried that some of the smaller songirds like cardinals and bluebirds would be too large to access the food; smaller birds do best in it. Really a good feeder though.

It is basically a hanging type of feeder but if you are mechanically inclined, you could probably modify it to be pole mounted.

I wish I had a clear answer for you but I just believe that as convenient the feeder should/could be it's just not that well designed. I would suggest asking the manufacturer or sending it back and getting a new one or a refund.

I feel sure you can. Unfortunately, I ended up throwing mine out because of a bad leaking problem. It could have been an isolated incident to just me as I have another Perky Pet feeder, a little larger than this one, & have never had a problem with it and I do wash it in the dishwasher. Hope this helps some!

The bottom of this feeder is a screen that can be removed easily for cleaning, but it makes it a little difficult for metal pole mounting. You could attach an "X" made out of wood or metal to allow you to attach to the feeder. We love our feeders (we have two of these) but I used wire to hang them from hooks attached to a 4X4. Makes it very easy to take down to clean.

If you mean you want to attach it to a post on the botton of the feeder then I would say no. You fill it from the top but the bottom is completely removable for cleaning the feeder out. You could clean it from the top but the food gets moldy and stuck around that bottom piece.

I bet you can use the Command heavy duty velcro strips. One side of the strip would stick on the back of the feeder and the other side on the aquarium. Just tear the feeder from the aquarium to remove for cleaning and attach it back when you're done. You can attach several strips to make it super secure. I use these all over the house.
