I always have hated the days of frozen waterer's and i have always used coffee cups to give out the warm water i take in 4 gallon jugs to my pens.
By the time i fill up the 35 or so cups my hands are about frozen solid from spilling the water on them. So when i went to the show i saw these clips on the cages that held a small bathroom cup and thought i wish i had that. It would hold enough for a few drinks till the other water thawed or i could easily remove it and replace it for more if it refroze.
So i had seen these huge paper clips at the store and thought it would work but when i got to the isle i noticed something else.
Badge Clips the kind people put their ID cards in so i bought about 30 of them and some small cups and tried it.
They clip right to the cup then you just snap the snaps over the wire.
I will never go back to the coffee cups these not only save me outside time i also only use a fraction of the water i did and if the water refreeze's i just put in a new one.
I been useing these for about a month and i highly recommend them they are Great for Bantams,Doves and Pigeons
