I'm glad these worked for you, but the sure didn't work for me. Hy guys had
a wonderful time popping the bowls out of the ring sending food flying
everywhere. The cage I was using at the time had a formica floor & they
would do the *dance* when the dish & food came raining down. I think they
liked the noise of everything spewing all over the formica.
The best solution I found are CROCK LOCK BOWLS, also a bird supply. The
difference is the bowl is fastened directly on to the cage with a screw-on
nut - easy on, easy off. There's also a bracket that goes on before the
screw which keeps the bowl from tilting from side to side. I also put them
up high when dealing w/persistant diggers.
Of all the bowls I've tried, these are by far the best. The ceramic break
(*hooman droppage*), galvanized corrode, & the hang-on type are easily
popped off like the steel bowls in the ring. I found the bin-feeder type
the most trouble of all. They have to be watched to see when the food level
is getting low, especially if the residual crumbs have to be dumped & if
they have screening in the bottom, crumbs fall all over.

I always use newspaper on one side of my carriers. But they may be
cumbersome to replace on the plane. Use paper towels. It'll be easy to rip
off a bunch to carry w/you & you can change what's soiled out very easily.
