Instructions
Disinfect your bird's food and water dishes by running them through your dishwasher. Let them dry completely before refilling them.
Move your bird to a safe place away from its cage while cleaning.
To disinfect the cage and toys, mix a gallon of water with 1/4 cup of bleach or hydrogen peroxide.
Remove toys and place them in a bucket with the cleaning solution. Let the toys soak for 10 minutes, then remove them. Rinse them thoroughly under running tap water. Allow the toys to dry thoroughly before returning them to the cage.
Empty the cage of any seeds or droppings. Dip a clean rag into the cleaning solution and wipe all areas of the cage. Let the cage air dry.
