Split daily and weekly tasks
Check food and water bowls, wet liner, and fresh-food leftovers daily. Give corners, perch joints, and washable toys a fixed weekly day.
- Daily: bowls, wet liner, leftovers
- Weekly: perches, joints, corners, washable toys
- Immediately: mold, rust, broken sharp parts
Move the bird first
Keep the bird away from aerosol cleaner and dry-dropping dust. Never mix cleaners; rinse away residue and let every surface dry fully.
Record cleaning dates
A short record of liners, perches, and replaced toys prevents long gaps and makes shared care clearer.
Breathing changes are urgent
After cleaner exposure, move the bird to clean air and call an avian clinic for eye irritation, breathing difficulty, or marked weakness. Keep the product label.
