Deep cleaning your bird cage

[@wyomingadventures]

My Vision cages get deep cleaned once a month. Well worth it to keep our feathered family healthy!💙🐦😊

[@jackirichard414]

Yep a clean cage is great

[@teresasimkins5518]

Oh yes! How well I remember the joy of cleaning out the bird cage. Good Times! They look good, as always! Pixel is so bright blue & is Kiwi doing A Happy Thanksgiving flip? Cute

[@uniquerebel21]

How about those small bottle brushes or those go-between teeth cleaners? I use them to clean the fountain for my cats, they should be able to get the build-up out and then you can wipe it down and dry it with the paper towels.

[@KiwiandPixel]

Good idea.

[@neelubird]

I was about to suggest the same thing. They're called interdental brushes here in the UK and can get into those awkward spaces.

[@vervastar]

Thanks! What’s the bottom of the cage look like? Is it completely flat?

[@KiwiandPixel]

It's not quite flat, but it's not hard to clean, either. It's a molded plastic base under the grate.

[@marlamitchell4348]

Ha ha Pixel!! And Kiwi wanted to socialize with Daddy!! Gotta love those "baby birds"! And yes I remember the joys of cage cleaning!! Lol! But hey they are worth it! 🐦😁💚💙

Visions cages are safe for canaries? I think wire spacing is kinda big for canaries to stay indoor

[@Drrezzin]

Dumb question: Do you let them out while deep cleaning the cage or do you simply work around them? Also, in regards to wooden perches, I was always told to make sure they are good and dry, otherwise the dampness could hurt their feet. Is that true?

[@KiwiandPixel]

I don't know about damp perches. I mean, they ordinarily live in the wild where branches can be wet. But yes, we leave them in the cages OR let them roam the room while deep cleaning.

[@Budgie-Vic]

I’ve been watching the manufacturers video too of this cage and the door ‘open’ inwards to create a landing platform so you you don’t have to shepherd them in when they land in the doorway. Does this work please? Thanks. Lovely birds. Mine is ready from breeder in 2 days. Can’t wait. Just wondering if I should upgrade to one of these cages. Xx

[@KiwiandPixel]

Yes. We typically open one door outward and one inward.

[@Budgie-Vic]

@@KiwiandPixel thanks so much for your reply. I get my new bird in 2 days and I’m so excited. Your little ones are so cute! I thinking of using this cage with just one storey and add in the top section if I get more budgies. Thanks for your video. It really helped.

[@cmaymiya1]

A squeaky clean cage for you two,Nice! ....now the fun part is making it messy again,tol. Our cage cleaning is usually Fri.if our cleaning lady remembers....bye for now~

[@desireefurlough2190]

Do you think the vision cage is big enough for a cockatiel?

[@KiwiandPixel]

I think even their largest cage is on the small side for a cockatiel.

[@ScottMcLinden]

How often do you clean your cage?

[@KiwiandPixel]

We change out the above-grate paper every other day and then deep clean once a week.

[@johnnysinger3353]

Is the larger cage with the wider bar spacing safe for the budgie? I want this cage but want the larger one for our budgies. I worry the bar spacing width is too much?

[@KiwiandPixel]

The larger cage has the same spacing. Vision makes one with larger spacing for bigger birds. Make sure you get the one with 1/2” spacing.

[@davidsangels5347]

Hi, how often should you change the papers? Is it daily? I understand that deep cleaning can be monthly, is that correct?

[@KiwiandPixel]

Every couple of days. Deep cleaning monthly sounds about right.

[@davidsangels5347]

@@KiwiandPixel Thank you :) Your vids are really helpful..

[@leighann5308]

How did you teach him to flip? It’s so cute

[@KiwiandPixel]

He did it on his own for attention, and then we started giving it a name - which turned it into a command.

[@reneehaines3872]

Hi can you tell me where you got the carry handles from please or what they are called, I am in the UK. Many thanks

[@KiwiandPixel]

They're called rope perches, and you can find them at any pet store that sells bird toys.

[@catherinebreitfeller669]

Thanks ! Very informative

[@Raoshna]

Just wanted to know. I just bought this large one and moved my budgies in it. Will my budgies be able to locate the food tray that is way down?? :(

[@cocolee8396]

Yes they will just show them where, let them see and ladder for them to go down, me i add many food bowl aside from the one located on the ground

[@sweetReaper]

Is there a Vision cage big enough for 4 budgies?

[@KiwiandPixel]

Probably not.

[@Budgie-Vic]

Hi does the top come off please?

[@KiwiandPixel]

It comes apart into as many pieces as you want.

[@Zenplatform]

I have a vision s01 for my parakeet and i am finding it very small for him. I am torn between L01, M02 and M01. Can i have some advice please?

[@KiwiandPixel]

L01 is my recommendation.

[@KiwiandPixel]

If you buy it, please use the link in our video descriptions as it supports the channel. Cheers!

[@Zenplatform]

Oh wish i could help with that, am buying from a local pet shop here in Malaysia. If i use amazon ill get charged for shipping + duty taxes atleast an extra 100$...thanks for your reply

[@Christ_TheWay]

I acquired an L02 a long time ago, which I sold after getting a bigger cage. I haven't been able to find one since and I regret having sold it. Its a double decker of the L01.

[@Psychedelic430]

Did you get the L01 ?

[@Luneroz]

Kiwi: good bird Me sobbing: yes kiwi you’re a very good bird

[@deenasharise4009]

I really like those cages.

[@KiwiandPixel]

They’re very well designed for the most part.

[@reneehaines3872]

Thank you for the speedy reply x x

[@cocolee8396]

May i ask why they are separated????

[@KiwiandPixel]

Territorial behavior! Pixel (the blue one) won't leave Kiwi (the green one) alone if they're kept in the same cage. When we first got them, we had planned to put them together, but they're actually happier in separate cages.

[@cocolee8396]

@@KiwiandPixel oic thank u for the reply, why i asked? It is bec my 2 pairs parakeet is fighting, my cage is vision L12 the biggest one, i bought a 2nd cage but it wont be delivered until a month i am sooo stressed

[@KiwiandPixel]

@@cocolee8396 You can cut a piece of plain cardboard (no glue or staples) and use it to divide the cage in half.

[@cocolee8396]

@@KiwiandPixel thank u sooo much i subscribe to ur channel

[@Psychedelic430]

Budgies need a cage so tall(right one) ? I thought all they need is cage with more length.

[@KiwiandPixel]

Ideally, the wider the better.

[@cyncyn7481]

Is there a reason that the two birds don’t share a cage? I have one parakeet now and we are going to get him a friend.

[@KiwiandPixel]

Territorialism.

[@OvermarsGaming]

my dream cage for my parakeets!

[@WandaSmith-x4f]

How to open the bottom of the cage

[@KiwiandPixel]

You lift the gray flaps.

[@KiwiandPixel]

The top comes off after you lift the gray flaps.

[@elyasa123]

Can I buy for $40

[@sundharampillai7520]

nice video sir

[@HRTsAFyre]

So very important, thank you.

[@hopelessstrlstfan181]

I never understood why they put food containers on bottom of cage. When I had Parakeets, I always bought the inexpensive food containers you could put on the upper walls of cage. The birds just can't poop in the food if the food is above their butts. Common sense.

[@KiwiandPixel]

They have poop guards on these.

[@tornado1078]

OMG I HAVE THE SAME CAGE ON THE LEFT!!

[@systekcustomersupport9596]

good

[@donew1thita11]

Yeah paper and water is all you need. No freaking vinegar or chemicals,

[@MRqoqoCAN]

no before after ? ok.

[@KiwiandPixel]

Sorry, I didn’t think to video while I was cleaning.
