So I just got done cleaning the fids cages and was wondering which of your fids make the biggest messes...for a little bird I think Juno takes the cake when it comes to dirty birds in our house...

Cam the budgie by far... but with their high metabolism they literally eat and poop constantly.

Ivory is seldom in her cage, so her cage is actually quite clean, but the throw carpet under the perches on the front and top of her cage is always quite a mess :)

That probably explains Junos messiness... didn't even think about the higher metabolism... and on a side note she fell in love with the dish rag i was using so I had had to give her a clean one so i could finish cleaning her cage...lol

A vulturine parrot that would flip her food bowl onto the floor of her cage, then eat all her food off of the floor.

For her size, my Sunday Conure made the biggest mess. She made a point to poop on the bars of her cage. Loved her anyway.

Ekko, the eclectus is by far the messiest, with the finches coming in a close second. My budgies & the laughing thrush are the easiest for me.
