Are you keeping your bird's cage clean?

[@Bobbybear1120]

I have a question? how can you take care of a parakeet in winter?

[@patti3d]

@@Bobbybear1120 I hope it’s inside the house! Then take care of them the same way for any season. They should not be left outside unless you have a protected aviary and heat source for them. They are easy targets for predators when left outside.

I try to , but after cleaning in the morning it looks like never ever cleaned in the evening . 🙄

I did but all my birds died from some reason

[@SoulessStranger]

Since my boys are out of the cage all the time I had to wreck my head a lot with how to keep my place relatively clean. I found out 3 things that helped me a lot. I suggest mapping out where your budgies like to sit the most. They usually have a few spots they rotate and always return to - they like to rest there and preen. I put their perchest/toys/rope bridges around those spots to make them more attractive. After that I bought those plastic mats that are used for bath tubs - against slipping - they are absolutely awesome. They stick to the ground but the surface is easy to clean. The poops and other filth doesn't stick to them so it is easy to vacuum clean them and keep them clean. I use a normal big vacuum cleaner but for the surfaces and cage I found out a smaller one that can be used with one hand is really good. Mine is rechargable and I just keep it around to use on seeds, shells and feathers as well as dried poopies. It really helps to keep things clean because I don't have to muck about with a big one. And last are the wipes. I tried a lot of different kinds but the ones that are the best are bamboo water wipes for infants. They are 100% non toxic and only organic and I dont have to worry my boys will lick the surface and get sick from ingesting some soap or cleaning solution. These wipes easily take care of any mess left behind and are bio degradable! They also have neutral, human skin friendly PH so a win win :)

[@alenaxp]

plastic mat is amazing tip, I will try to look one for my budgies.

[@SoulessStranger]

@@alenaxp they are a godsent and also super easy to wash since they are made to be in water :)

[@sherrigodbey9244]

Brilliant advice! Thank you fellow bird parent!🙏🏻🦜👏🏻💯👍

[@zech_]

That’s a nice solution! Mine is out of the cage for almost the whole day and I cover the top of the wardrobes with old newspapers and branches. In summer I do the same but around the window

[@patti3d]

I have a hand vacuum too for in-between cleaning then at night with the big vacuum. I will try the plastic mat! Great idea.

[@bonD6002]

I have a relative that never cleaned their bird's cage, *7 years.* He only "cleaned" it when I showed him the maggots in the tray and food. If you want a bird, PLEASE look after it.

[@ariqis]

oh my god.. i wouldv literally TAKEN the bird. couldn’t you do anything about that? that’s just cruel

[@arianaa.3448]

Wow ..

[@larrygill2223]

I’ve had my budgie for about 4 Months now, and she still hasn’t taken a bath. She just drinks from the water. I’ve tried warm water, bought a little bird bath. Nothing.

[@ionapereira6801]

Then pleeeease just spray her bcoz only then she will feel nice n fresh n clean. Give her coriander stems n spinach stems to eat n cooked table rice....they just love it. Some times noodles too will do. Plain boiled noodles... but not over cooked...u can just leave a shallow bowl of water with some cilantro leaves in it n u see she will enjoy her bath daily. Trust me bcoz they love bathing..👍👍🎉🙏

[@milkcreambinky_official]

The Budgies Bathing Part Was Cute

[@chonky9586]

Since I have a conure, I mop and broom every single night and on Sundays I wash sheets, curtains and the cage and do a DEEP Clean.

[@MaCad364]

The funny thing, in my opinion, is that feather molting is my favorite part. I love to collect the feather I find whenever I clean their cages; lol, a little memento for me 😅🥺❤

[@patti3d]

Yes, twice a day, morning and evening. I give them fresh water after washing the cups with soap and water. Change paper in the evening. I found a doggie pet pad that fits the cage perfectly and line it with paper towels. Wipe off any poop around the bars of the cage or the ledge. In the morning zi blow out seed hulls from the seed cups right onto the paper towels that line the cage and wipe the poop off anything in the cage. Then just remove the paper towels and it’s still clean on the bottom pad. Re clean the water cups and add fresh water. Then they eager await for their nutra berries which they love. By then the cage is littered with seed that has fallen so before it gets soiled I gather any large pieces of the seed balls and place it in their cups. I think that is why my females knock a lot of seed out to find the seed balls. Oh and I vacumn at least twice a day! But they are worth it. I love listening to their chatter all day long! Thanks for a great video. People need to know what they are getting into before they get a bird. I have seen some people leave the birds outside not protected and they don’t clean the cages often enough. Makes me very sad. I do notify animal control.

Terimakasih sudah berbagi pengalaman yang bermanfaat dan selalu memberikan tips-tips yang bagus

[@lordpurchase9189]

Budgies are actually pretty clean compared to other birds like finches or canaries and other birds. The spill proof feeder is a neat idea except its made from plastic and overtime bacteria can build up, I'd want a stainless steel feeder.

[@neerjatomar4737]

Can you please let me know that how can i take care of my budgies in Summers especially of India? My budgies used to live in 6 - 10 hours in the Air Conditioner and I place the cage outside in early morning and sometimes at nights. Is that Ok? Edit: Well, you earned a new subscriber! Congrats!

[@phhjessie]

What's the temperature? They shouldn't be in AC for that long. Give them water to bathe, if they're hot they would cool themselves down in the water. You can place the cage outside in early morning for vitamin D absorption. Placing it at night doesn't do any help.

[@neerjatomar4737]

Temperatures in Mid Summers is sometimes 45° but above 40° C is average

[@JillBudgie]

thats why i have all metal cage and cardboard at bottom. easy to clean and once a week rinse with the hose. plastic or wood cages are worse.

[@wildbirbs9797]

Ugh I just finished cleaning mine's cage - I always use sanytizer and wash the stuff at least 2x times... it's part OCD ofcourse but yeah...I hate to see them dirty and am afraid they get sick

[@candalalala]

I'm new to budgies. I have one in a vision cage. I change out the newspaper once a week and week down everything every so often. It seems to work... I vacuum everything in the living room, too. I have four guinea pigs so the living room gets messy with all the hay, fur, feathers, and seeds 😅

We do spot cleaning once a week deep clean once a month sometimes we let it go because the cages are big no matter what we always keep their food and water dishes clean and give them fresh food and water daily.

[@ethanspookie]

my cousin literally got budgies for his birthday and he’s done 0 research for them.. ive been obsessed with them for 5 years or so and pretty much know how to care for them. not gunna be happy knowing the cage will be one of those small little things with the bad perches and knowing they cant care for them properly

[@zakosist]

You should guide them how to care for them properly then, and encourage a bigger cage. Dont know if you had any success taming budgies (I did not, had mine for several months and tried to tame it for a while, its still wild), but if you can tame them, maybe either do it yourself or guide them how to do it (I think some people maybe cant because they give off the wrong vibes, but worth trying). If its tame they can get outside the cage regularly and that makes up for a bigger cage. If someone you meet doesn't care properly about their pets you gotta say something about it, but dont be rude (unless it becomes clear they dont care at all) and be considerate when its accidental. Either way giving someone pets as a gift is generally a terrible idea (not blaming you) unless that person was already well into preparing to get it

[@FoxyFox_robloxian]

Hello alen axp , i have 2 budgies and if i use a small cage and without toys will they die?

[@zakosist]

My budgie cage has a portable floor you can take out and wash, I think thats a pretty good solution. They do make mess daily, but I found them actually less bad than guina pigs in that regard

I clean my budgies cage daily. And also I have a question. My budgie Banana is plucking One corner of her wing. Do you know why? And thanks!💜☺️

[@zakosist]

I dont know, but if its one particular spot over and over I think it may be itching or an injury. If they pluck themself in general to the point of depleting feathers, that's a sign they dont thrive and it could be many things, but usually either being lonely, bored or having too little space

[@BuddyTheBudgie200]

@@zakosist It is probably boredom. I'm going to get them new toys soon. Thanks for the help! ❤️🐦❤️

U always use fresh paper(white) in the cage... that's not good for the environment right??...u can use used newspaper or any other used paper....also we can buy used paper...by which we can reuse the papers..

[@busterr18]

I have a 14 years old budgie. Got him since he was a baby. For 10 years I've cleaned his cage once in every 2-3 months. For the past 3 years I've been cleaning once a month regularly. I should mention his cage is Vision S01 which is just above average size for just one bird - 47.5 x 37 x 51 cm to be exact. When I see people say they clean their cage daily, I can't help but surprised. I'm not sure if mine has been enduring or lucky to have such a long life, but I do believe genetics are more important and these factors such as cleanliness or nutritional support matter less than we think - because I also gave mine one type of food his whole life, rarely gave him vegetables and fruits, also never had to visit a vet in his life. Bless him for being a hassle-free boi.

[@catherinecarter8987]

Doesn't the cage stink only cleaning 2-3 months? I would hate to live in a room with poo on the floor week after week....

[@phhjessie]

Genetics do play a huge role, though there's no study showing how big of a role genetics plays when it comes to their health/life-span. Mine are never in their cages except when they're sleeping. They roam around my house all day. They spend most of their time eating and playing at their designated playground, where my mom cleans once every several days (I moved out). Their cages are cleaned once every several months, though their poop trays are changed way more often. People cleaning cage daily possibly has to do more with them being meticulous. IMO that's not necessary.

[@NotSoNormal1987]

My budgie Psyche will kick the food out of one of the trays when I fill it because she likes to sit in it from time to time.

[@enes6349]

Use harrison's bird food cause they are much better then seeds and ony stainless steel is much better then plastic
