Cleaning Your Bird's Cage

People who keep birds as pets at their homes, should clean the bird cages daily. But complete cleaning of the cage should be done at-least once  a week or once a month to keep your birds health good and keep them away from attacking diseases or infections caused by the droppings of the bird which contains bacteria and other micro organisms. Even this droppings of the birds in cages can irritate the guests health if that dirt spreads through air to their homes.

Hence, ensure that you clean the cage daily, weekly and monthly for the bird to provide clean and comfortable cage to live in.

At the start it is very tedious task for the bird owners to clean the cage because it requires a lot of time in cleaning the cage but it is easy, if you clean the cage daily.

Empty the cage by removing the pet (keep it in a safe location) and items like food, dishes, toys, perches and any other items related. Then apply a detergent solution (safer to birds) to the cage. Then scrub the cage with a scrubber to remove the complete dirt and rinse with plain water. Then dry the cage by keeping it in the sun.

Then clean all the dishes, toys and other items related to the bird with mild detergent soap and dry them with paper towel or kitchen towel before putting into the cage. After cleaning of every item of the cage, spray the disinfectant to the items as well as cage to prevent from the bacteria. Then put all the cleaned items in the cage with fresh food and water. Then return the bird to the cage.
