Which management strategy is suggested to help mitigate feed contamination impacting the long tail feathers of ornamental Yokohama birds?

Using elevated feeders or placing feed dishes in areas with excellent drainage and ventilation

To protect the delicate, long plumage from becoming soiled or wet from spilled food or water, keepers of ornamental breeds often employ environmental modifications. Elevating the feeding stations lifts the food source above the level of the lower tail feathers. Additionally, positioning these stations away from common congregation spots like roosts or dust bathing areas minimizes the chance of the feathers coming into contact with spilled rations or water, thereby promoting better hygiene.
