Bird Cage Bedding: Changing bedding once, even twice a
day, is highly recommended. Doing this, make sure the cage is easily accessible
without any risk of bird escaping. No matter if you use newspaper or other
paper liners make sure that they will not cause problems to your bird in case
of ingesting. Avoid any items that have glue or colored ink on them. You better
find safe paper cardboard that could be easily removed and replaced. Depending
on the size of your bird you may use several layers for bedding the cage as it
gives you the opportunity to change just the top one.
Bird Cage Dishes: All food and water dishes must be
cleaned with non-toxic cleansers under a hot water and then thoroughly dried.
As doing that make sure no trace of soap, disinfectant or any other cleanser
that you use remains on the dishes. Drying is very important step of the clean
process because otherwise if the dishes are not absolutely dry that may cause
damping and then molding of the seeds or pellets. A good solution to avoid that
unpleasant and undesirable situation is to have at least two sets of dishes
that you can have on your disposal when the one set is on process of drying.
Materials as plastic or stainless steel are very useful for long lasting usage
because they can withstand washings over and over again for a long period of
time.
No matter
what item you use as a dish - a bowl, cup, bottle or can, make sure that you
have available accessory for perfect cleaning, for example a bottle brush, to
avoid any droppings or disinfectant left on the dish surface.
Bird
Cage Accessories: Each one of
the accessories you placed in the cage should be regularly removed and cleaned
with hot soapy water or other cleanser, rinsed and dried thoroughly before they
are brought back in the cage. Doing that observe the items carefully for any
accumulations of droppings and make sure you remove them all.
Bird
Cage Surrounding area: All seed,
pellet, hull, feather pickings and other debris should be swept or vacuumed
from the bottom of the cage. If the cage is provided with an apron it can help
for collecting the pickings. It can be easily removed and clean daily.
