Bird Hygiene
With the risk of cross infection being so high in birds, we take health and hygiene very seriously and recommend you do the following!
Use newspaper to line the bottom of cages and this should be changed every 2-3 days. All occupied parrot cages should be wiped down and fully cleaned and disinfected, including all perches, food bowls and toys on a 2 weekly basis using F10 solution. Completely decontaminated using an F10 aerosol fogger.
To help reduce feather dust and keep good air quality, you should use an air purifier within the room at all times.
