Place the cage away from direct sunlight, draughts, and kitchen fumes. Birds are sensitive to temperature changes and fumes, so a well-ventilated but stable environment keeps them healthy and comfortable.

Wash your bird’s food and water bowls every day using mild soap and warm water. This prevents bacterial growth and contamination that can cause digestive issues or infections.

Change paper or substrate liners at least once a day. Dirty cage bottoms attract mould, parasites, and odours that can harm your bird’s respiratory system.

Once a week, deep-clean the entire cage using bird-safe disinfectant. Remove all accessories, scrub bars and trays, rinse thoroughly, and let everything dry completely before reassembly.

Inspect toys and perches for dirt, droppings, or damage. Clean wooden or plastic toys with warm soapy water and replace anything frayed or broken to prevent injuries.

Never use bleach, ammonia, or strong household cleaners. These can release toxic fumes harmful to birds. Always opt for vet-approved or bird-safe cleaning products.

Wipe surrounding surfaces and vacuum around the cage to manage feathers and dander. This not only keeps your home cleaner but also improves your bird’s air quality.

Allow your bird to bathe regularly using shallow water or a mist spray. Regular bathing helps keep feathers clean, reduces dander and supports healthy skin.

A spacious cage allows your bird to move, stretch, and stay active. Overcrowded or undersized cages lead to stress, feather plucking, and behavioural issues.

Check cage bars, doors, and latches often to ensure they’re secure and rust-free. Remove any sharp edges or loose wires that could injure your bird.
