Cleaning bird toys and perches is just as important as cleaning the cage, but it is sometimes overlooked. With a few easy steps and tips, cleaning your birds toys will be quick and simple.
Instructions
1. Remove the toys and perches from the bird cage. It may be necessary to remove the bird from the cage to get the toys, if the bird is possessive.
2. Using a paper towel or dry scrub brush, brush or wipe off any solid, hard, encrusted droppings or shell casings that might be sticking to the toys and perches.
3. Fill a cleaning bowl with hot water and a drop of dish soap. Or, fill the bowl with a bird toy cleaning and disinfecting solution.
4. Place toys and perches in bowl of hot water and dish soap. Let them soak for 2 to 5 minutes, depending on how long they have been soiled.
5. Using another paper towel, scrub brush or a sponge scrub the toys and perches completely clean.
6. Rinse the toys and perches thoroughly with very hot water. Make sure to rinse all soap or cleaner residue off the toys and perches to prevent the bird from getting a case of diarrhea.
7. Set toys and perches on a clean paper towel or clean towel to dry. They could also be set in a dish drying rack. The toys and perches need to be completely dry before putting them back in the cage with the bird.
