I'm using one of the "funnels" that are used around the pole for a bird feeder/bird house.   I found one that was made for a 4x4 post, removed the mounting tabs, and made a short extension to reduce it down to the size used in most package cages.  Works like a charm!

Find an old milk can filter holder, they're just about the right size.
