All Dimensions are in Millimeters (mm)

Equivalents: 1millimeter (mm) = 0.1 centimeter (cm) = 0.01 meter (m)
                    1000 mm          = 100 (cm)                = 1(m)
Conversion: 1 inch                = 2.54(cm ) To convert inches into (cm) multiply inches by 2.54
                                                               To convert (cm) into inches multiply (cm) by 0.3937
 To convert dimensions in diagrams above from (mm) to inches, move the decimal point one place to the left. This will convert the number from (mm) to (cm), e.g., 305mm will become 30.5cm. Then multiple by 0.3937 to get inches. (Ex: 30.5cm X .03937 = 12.01 inches) or try using a metric ruler.

The 3 inch mini drinker with the black plastic bottom was approved for use in 2003. It is to be placed in the third space from the right so it may be easily reached by the bird. Mini drinkers may be purchased from several suppliers. One supplier being www.minidrinker.com.The show cage tag must be attached above the cross bar as shown in the picture.
