With this flu thing I have the last thing I've felt like doing is cleaning cages and playstands really well, They have just been having a quick clean and food water change.
Today, however, I decided that they really did need a good and proper clean, started on the cages and took all toys and perches down and gave them a cleaning, then the cage from top to bottom, inside and out, Finally managed to get them all done and toys back, with Bucc not amused that I had dared take them out of his cage. Starting on the playstand, decided to take everything apart a give it a real going over, Never have I seen so much mess anywhere and I'm not sure how he had managed to get food under the perch and under the seed catcher
Took ladders off and cleaned them and again food and muck under there as well, How does he manage that! Now they are really clean again, but I will be watching him more carefully in future. Even the bottom of the tray was encrusted with bits that he has had, HOW!! Got halfway through the playstand and all my energy just went, but had to put it all together again. Finally managed to get that done and then crashed on the sofa for the rest of the afternoon. If it was a case that the things hadn't been cleaned at all since I lost energy then I could understand a little bit but they had. I think he was doing it on purpose, just to get me up and moving.:18:
