What is the proper way to clean a birdcage?

Answer 1

To clean a birdcage properly, you should follow these steps:

1. Remove your bird from the cage and place it in a safe area.
2. Take out all toys, perches, and food/water dishes from the cage.
3. Dispose of old bedding or liner from the cage bottom.
4. Scrub the cage bars, bottom, and any other surfaces with a bird-safe cleaner or a mixture of hot water and mild soap. Rinse thoroughly to remove any soap residue.
5. Disinfect the cage by spraying or wiping all surfaces with a bird-safe disinfectant.
6. Allow the cage to air dry completely before putting back the clean bedding, toys, perches, and food/water dishes.
7. Return your bird to its clean cage.

It's recommended to clean the birdcage at least once a week to ensure a healthy environment for your bird.
