How To Make a Cage Liner

Cage liners provide a simple, sanitary way to keep your bird's cage clean, but keeping a fresh supply on hand can get expensive. Homemade cage liners are an appealing alternative to the store-bought varieties, because you can make your own from common materials you already have around the house. You can custom-fit the liners to any size, which will accommodate even the most oddly shaped birdcage. With a little do-it-yourself initiative, you can keep your bird healthy without draining your bank account.
