I use puppy pads

Welcome. I hope you'll share some pics of your birds

I made washable cage liners out of flannel (top), batting (inside to absorb liquids) and ripstop nylon. I personally like them MUCH more than newspaper. They don't rip when you take them out and poop, food and water cannot soak through and "glue" them to the tray. Plus, you can go 2 days between changing them.

Edit: I also have his cage on a large piece of ply wood I topped with linoleum. It keeps poo and food off the carpet and is easy to clean.

Hi welcome! I use the seed guards that come with my cage and playgym. These help a lot, but i also have a small bird. Other than that all i need is a good sweep every once in a while. I have seen people use the clear plastic mats for furniture like rolling chairs... i cant think of what they are called but they are used to protect hardwood or tile floors... My breeder hung a nice curtain behind her cages to protect her wall.

For my floor I use: [ame="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00O32UHHC?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s01"]Amazon.com : Office Marshal® Eco Office Chair Mat - 36" x 48", Multiple Sizes - Hard Floor Protection - BPA Free | Opaque : Office Products[/ame]

And for the cage I just use paper towels. I change the paper towels like twice a week. I have a little bird.

I use sheet linolium. The stuff you buy off the roll at Lowes or Home Depot under my cages.

You know, I was going to use a tarp and cut it, but this is SOOOO much a better idea! Thank you!

sorry if this is wrong place to ask that question. i wanna build a 3 inch deep wood frame and put sand in bottom and use a scoop to catch food poop etc. i leave the cage open and both birds sit on their doors etc all day. lol

i use news paper on floor now , both birds are in my business office and it looks pretty un neat, plus I'm not the best of cleaning it up daily. single messy guy status.. lol

Hello and Welcome to the forums, Jeremiah! We'd love to see pics of your feathered friends if you'd like to share.

Welcome to the forums. I usually just have news paper inside the tray as well as the bottom of the cage and on the fllow and I'd replace them every night or other night for the one of the fllow depepding how messy Justine is.

I don't subscribe to a newspaper so i purchase rolls of panting paper from HD/Lowes (they come in different size rolls). Switching from seeds to pellets reduces the mess by a lot. Because Bonny can't reach the tray, I have been thinking of just lining it with a sheet of linoleum, shop-vac up the loose stuff and then just scrub the rest.
