How to Disinfect a Bird Cage



Whether your bird has passed away or has just recovered from an illness, it’s important to disinfect a bird cage properly and thoroughly. Here goes:

1.      Throw out wooden toys and food dishes. It’s important to get rid of these as they hold a greater propensity of having bacteria infect and make a home in them.

2.      Disinfect toys and accessories. Use a mixture of ½ cup water and ½ cup vinegar and soak the toys and accessories thoroughly to kill bacteria.

3.      Combine hot water and vinegar. Soak the cage and tray in the mixture. Take care not to use soap as it can leave behind a residue that may pose as a serious harm to your birds. 

4.      Dry everything thoroughly before letting the bird in. Air drying is a good idea. For professional advice on pet care, visit a pet clinic Reynoldsburg.
