QUESTION
Do I need to disinfect my love bird's cage, perches, and toys? How do I disinfect the many different materials the cage contains?
REPLY - By Kathy Greaser
Disinfecting everything in the cage is important when you're switching
cages between birds,
new or old, and after your bird has been sick. I disinfect my cages at
least once a month. I
disinfect everything with either one part bleach into ten parts water or
Dene-a-Gene by
Oxyfresh (mixed according to directions). I only use the Dene-a-Gene when
I'm also doing
the breeders because it has to be used up in a limited time. Simply replace
all the wood, if it
is from the cage of a bird that was sick, dead or if disease is suspected
or can not be ruled
out.
