How to disinfect a cage  email this discussion to a friend?

phpdevguy (11) 5 years ago

I might be getting a budgie(parakeet) soon! yay!
well anyways I was wondering how to disinfect the old cage I have. I had 2 budgies about a year ago but they both died from I don't know what.
So I want to make sure the cage is disinfected before I get the new bird.
Any advice would be appreciated!

Wash it out real good with an antibacterial soap..then let it sit in the sun for a few days.

That should get it nice and clean.

I would clean it with bleach really good. Scrub all the bars and floor. Rince really well with HOT water. Let it dry and your ready for a new bird!!

Thanks for sharing, this discussion is four months old, so your problem must have been over. We disinfect a bird cage using bleaching powder first and next wash it with 'Dettol' mixed water. But the bird is removed to another cage disinfected earlier in a similar manner.

I would use a dettol before introducing new birds in it. Make sure you leave it in the sun and make sure that a week has passed since you put your new birds in it.
