Hi all! I wanted to share these with you.

I have had parrots for YEARS and only recently purchased these and can't believe I ever lived without them!! Bird safe cage liners that you can put a stack for the week in the catcher tray, and each day or every other day, simply roll out the top sheet - makes cage cleaning a BREEZE! And soiled sheets do not leak onto the ones below! The sizes don't quite fit my cages perfectly, so I buy the closest smaller size and just zig zag each sheet in the tray so the stack covers the whole thing, if that makes sense!

And Kaytee now makes a chewable play tunnel that is safe for parrots (no zinc or lead in the binding agent, made of cardboard, and dyed using vegetable dyes). I use these for happy hut substitutes because they don't have risks for choking, strangulation, foot entanglement, or encouraging nesting/aggressive behaviors because they aren't fluffy. You can also drill holes and string toys inside them (tons of ideas online). I used to buy a similar thing that was more expensive and came only from the UK, until I found these! OF COURSE TAKE THE BEDDING OUT because that is dangerous for parrots, but the tunnel itself if parrot safe - I confirmed with Fosters & Smith! Our birds love to chew the edges and they are very durable!

While I'm at it, I highly recommend "Poop Off" cage cleaner and quick wipes! I can't believe the time these save me with the poo poo chores! LOL!

I'm hooked on F&S!

Those liners are great. It will be expensive to do all our cages but even twice a week won't be so bad.

The Chewbular tubes are great. One of the custom toys I bought of etsy uses them to hang and while Oliver hasn't figured it out yet, I'm sure he will love it when the time comes.
