Has anyone used or know about this stuff? I found http://www.equinox-products.com/index.htm from http://www.multiscope.com/hotspot/howcln5.htm and was wondering if anyone knows how these clean. I am always looking for GOOD natural cleaners and was wondering if anyones used these around their homes as well as around their birds (as in their cages, play stands etc). I have used A kind of orange cleaner (like their "Orange Plus") but I don't thing it was this brand and it worked well. All comments are welcome :)

Yah I'll bet. My bf's neighbor has a huge cage of parrots that live outside (its California); he's taken a picture and is going to send it to me - he seems to like them thank gawd (he's never met my birds btw).

vinegar for me as well. My cages are on metal shelves with a blanket over the part that's next to a window - mainly to keep them from chewing up the blinds.

I think an outdoor aviary with parakeets would be really cool (not budgies, but parakeets). build it around a tree trunk maybe (like a tree thats been nearly completely taken down sort of - so a really tall stump i guess) ... have a really shallow (an inch or two deep) pond or creek maybe for fresh moving water for them ... wood branches and stuff ... maybe some wild flowers (if the mix was safe) and oat grass too ... oh i wanna i wanna ... have little houses for them (like a strip of bird condos sort of maybe) ... i wanna i wanna ...

Well we're not building it round a tree stump, but we are having a tree in there, and I'm gonna make it as natural as possible for them, the swings I'm putting in there will be made totally from wood (well thats the plan anyway) toys they don't play with so gonna add lots of bark and put that together to make perches and toy kinda thing.

The people who lived here before had filled the top part of the garden up with all sorts of rubbish, then planted trees in front of it, so when we moved in we thought the garden ended at the trees, so we were quite surprised when we realised it didn't. The rubbish stood about 4 foot tall and covered the whole back part, which is gonna be the aviary. :eek:
