Abstract
A watering system for caged birds and the like includes a water bottle having a planar side adapted to be disposed adjacent to the cage wall. The bottle includes a T-shaped member extending from the planar side, and a bracket securable to the cage wall includes a slot dimensioned to receive the T member in removable fashion with the bottle depending therefrom. The bracket includes a medial panel, and arms extending from the opposed ends of the medial panel and joined thereto by integral hinge portions. The arms are adapted to be passed through the gaps between the wires of the cage, and to be folded back in confronting relationship with the medial panel, with aligned screw holes and tapped holes in the medial panel and arms provided to secure the bracket to the cage wires. The bottle includes a lower end surface inclined toward the cage wall, and a wide mouth opening extending therethrough. A cap is secured to the opening in sealing relationship, with a dispensing spout extending from the cap through the cage wires. The lower end of the dispensing spout includes a tapering flange which retains a red-colored oval ball within the spout and dimensioned to extend partially from the lower end thereof to attract the attention of a bird.
