- Get your cage paper supply from your local paperboy! They usually have some left-over
papers or inserts and are more than happy to be rid of them!
- Use the quarter car wash to blast your cages clean!
- If you don't have the time to sprout your own seeds, purchase "sprouts" from your local
fruit market or grocery store. Just be sure to wash and dry them thoroughly, then store them in the refrigerator.
- Use a putty knife to scrape poop off of cages before wiping them clean.
- Twice a week, add 1 drop (small drop using eye-dropper) bleach to every 4 oz of water.
This can prevent and kill any bacteria that may build up in your bird's water source AND, in my experience, has been a good way to stop parasites and other health issues in their tracks!
- Use clean dryer lint as nesting material!
- Layer paper in the cage bottom over the grates to minimize clean up. If you place 4 or 5
layers, you can then remove the top soiled layer when cleaning the cage!
