Having a parrot is never ending cycle of cleaning, being in a clean room for a few minutes and needing to clean again because feathers, poop, feather dust, food will be everywhere again :D My computer needs constant vacuuming because inside of it looks like if someone put sand inside. Oh and those desk mats are great, I have one under the cage because Bruno somehow poops outside even when he is inside, plus those are easier to clean than wooden floor. Vinegar +water is great to clean poop stains, nothing work like vinegar, it smells but is non toxic way to clean that never ending mess :D When it comes to cage bedding I found out that paper towels works good, especially because Bruno throws the water bowl in that cage and soaks everything so it is cheap and eco friendly way to keep that cage clean. When it comes to his big cage, I use old paper sheets I was sketching on, now I am happy I wasn't throwing those away, just kept those since i was a teen and now those are working as a cage bedding, obviously those with pencil and pen sketches, nothing heavily colored or painted, since those can be toxic. Otherwise I am buying those paper rolls in IKEA, also works great.

my late conure had a real good idea to keep his cage clean. he would poop in/on the other 2 parrot cages and the parakeet cages. he would even take his bath in the other parrots cages water dishes to keep his water clean, many good memories of this guy.

Great video on the joys 😁 of sharing ones home with birds 🤗 love how Little Mango 💕 was helping Too 😁

Sharing? More like renting a corner of the room where I sleep 😂 (jokes jokes) I love having them here 🥰 haha Mango was a cheerleader 😂

I've used washable dog/puppy mats (that soak up liquid and protect the wooden flooring) under the birds cages and tree for about 2 years now. Mine are about 180*180 cm and it works really well. I usually just have to pick up fresh food pieces and vacuum the dried poop once in a while, while machine washing the mats every couple weeks. I don't use detergent when washing them, since they soak up liquids, to protect the birds from harmful chemicals, and they turn out clean. Would recommend!

Ahh thank you ❤️

the fun of cleaning the bird room!!! they get possessive of cages and don't want you in them,. they want to keep their piles of shredded wood, toys, blankies, etc. my jenday conure would watch my cleaning duties like a hawk seeing if i missed a spot. my 17 yr old jenday died on 10-30-23. i really miss him hoping on my shoulders and back watching my movements and being a part of things. my qp and green cheek want a clean cage and room but will squawk when i pull out the vacuum cleaner or mop bucket. maybe i missed a spot to them. i miss my little yellow buddy. room cleaning isn't the same w/o him. my jenday named "snarky" for his attitude clung to me and even tuned in to my gal pal of 3 yrs now. she was the only he'd let take pictures of him and respond to her talking. he would watch her close when she changed the poopy papers around the cages.

Aww i wasn't first to cmnt this time 😔 but anyways your video are amazing ❤ and it's really so much to clean and we have to otherwise they will start cleaning 😅 I just want to tell you 😊 that recently they started to fell comfortable in their room, they really like theri room 😆 and i started to leave the room for time to time and say " i will come fast " and then leave, i watch them from far to know that if they are eating or not 😅, i go after few min to them and gradually incresing the time so that they eat well without me in case i have to go like for my exams. At first they really don't want to leave me they just go with me even if they are hungry, so i was really worried about them eating, but now i know that they will eat well 😊 and that's really all THANKS TO YOU ☺️ One more thing, from where did you buy the stand where you put pellets and water together. If possible plz put the link or name 😊

Yes they are, they are from tree wood that is safe for them such as maple, apple and willow. They have been sanded and cleaned prior to use :)

i'm sorry for your loss.my jenday conure passed away last week. i'm grieving hard, don't care what people say about getting emotional over him. we've heard the ' it's justa -----" from ignorant people. they get in our daily life and are like family members in my opinion. they pass away and it cuts deep. @@SimBits
