What do you use at the bottom of your birds cage?

[catherine]

Thank you for the informative video. I used paper towels or newspaper. There was a grate above the paper. I changed the paper every day.

…I use news paper, paper bags, and papertowels. I love how Summer, your yellow Kakariki bird, kicks the paper pellets to the side with her foot as she is foraging, at 12:00 So fancy. 😁 🌻💛

Ahh, such a good video; I like how you covered all the potential problems with many of the items for lining a bird cage. I will stick with using newspaper, brown grocery bags, wrapping/packing paper. I change the paper everyday and it's an easy clean up. My budgies are almost 11 years old now; I brought them home from a humane center in March 2018 when they were a little over 4 years old, and had to do a lot of cleaning on the cages that were filthy; cages had no lining and the plastic bottom had the poop all caked on that the plastic bottoms were deteriorating. I had to get new cages anyway; cages were too small and you directed me to some good size cages on your Amazon store; they are easy to clean. My budgies continue to do well. Maybe you can make a noisy video of your birds soon; when I turn up the volume, it sets off my budgies to chirp loud and non-stop; LOL.

I use the free news papers from the store or paper towels. I place it on the grate because the grate is hard to clean. Thank you Donna!

[ScoopGirl]

[cindybrook]

I use paper towel under the grate for my single GCC. It gets changed every night before bedtime. Thanks for the info, Donna!

How does everyone keep their area around the cage clean? I struggle with this, even though I have placed plexiglass around high traffic areas on the cage. I did remove the seed guards, as I did not find them to be really helpful. Any suggestions would be appreciated. I did have a gate around the entire cage or across the opening to the room to contain the mess and so my little dogs didn't eat the feathers or food, etc. but that really doesn't work well for me, as it takes up so much room. Their cage is 32" x 23" and is a dome top cage. It's the A&E Large dometop cage.

They should make cage liners that are sticky, so when dander, feathers and pellet dust land on it, it sticks. This would obviously need to be placed UNDER the grate at bottom of cage so birds do not have access to it. Anyone want to go into business with me? :)

[MyBentleyBoo]

So, I use to use newspaper, paper towels, or butcher block paper. NONE worked well because dander does not stick well to those materials so when my birds fly down to bottom of cage or when i went to clean, the dander and all the dust would just go all over. Now, I use unscented incontinence pads I get in bulk from online medical supply companies. Works much better and is easier to roll up and keep everything contained. I also use an air purifier (mechanical) next to their cage and put it on high when cleaning.

Love your channel so much!!.. hope your well x🦜

[aprilkitten]

Great advice! My birds and I really like paper towels, for me it's easy and for them, they can easily spot whatever they just dropped. On their birthday or Christmas, I use natural wrapping paper just for fun••🥳 🎉🐦🦜🩵💚💜

I use hemp bedding for horses/chickens for my GCC. I 'he had it in the house for years for my rabbit.

[ThePurpleLotus]

I use packing paper. I put it on top of the grate and change daily. I just can’t handle cleaning grates 😅
