Bird Cages: Cleaning and Maintenance

If you consider yourself to be a loving and responsible bird owner, then you must thoroughly clean and maintain your bird’s cage on a regular basis. It’s essential for the health and safety of your bird. It can be done quickly and easily as long as you keep up on it. Follow my instructions and you’ll be done in no time!

First make sure that you have all of the proper equipment. You will need a bird cage cleaner, wire brushes, some bird cage paper and a bird play pen. Next remove your bird from his or her cage. Place the bird in a safe area that isn’t near open windows or doors. Also remove any perches, bird toys or food dishes from inside of the cage. The cage should be completely empty. Next check to see if the cage has a bottom that will detach. If so, remove it and dump the waste into a trash bag. If the bottom isn’t detachable, then turn the cage upside down and let the waste fall into the garbage. Shake the cage to make sure that you’ve gotten everything out. Now place the bird cage in a large sink. Run extremely hot water over the cage. Then use a non-toxic bird cage cleaner and scrub the cage with a wire brush. Scrub thoroughly until all of the excess is removed. Rinse the bird cage. You can do this in your shower or in a very deep sink. Dry the cage thoroughly with a dry towel and reassemble the cage. Now scrub any perches, toy or food dishes carefully and thoroughly with the bird cage cleaner as well. Rinse them and dry. Now line the cage with clean bird cage paper and replace all of the toys, food dishes and perches.

Before starting the cleaning process, place pet birds in a safe place and then start the cage cleaning process. When starting the bird cage cleaning process, understand about the cage. Some of the cages have removable buttons, so by using this button you can remove all the filth in the cage and make your cleaning process easy. If your cage does not have any removable buttons, you need to take all the measures in bird cage cleaning.

If you have a hectic schedule, you cannot clean the bird cage at once. To minimize the bird cage cleaning process at one time, you should divide the cleaning process into parts. Some cleaning measures can be taken daily, weekly, fortnight and monthly. Dividing the cleaning process will minimize the bird cage cleaning process and make the process easy.

•    Clean the left over food every day and do not neglect the leftover food cleaning process. The trays should be washed thoroughly before supplying the bird food. Cleaning the trays will minimize the bacteria accumulation in the cage.
•    Make out few minutes in your daily routine and clean out side of the cage which also includes wiping of the bird toys and accessories.
