Seed Catch Help!!!

[LAURIT]

Hey All,

 

As we all know our greys can throw food very far. I need help to find a tray or something that I can put on the floor near the cage to catch seeds, droppings, etc. I thought about getting a laundry washer tray, but still not sure. I feel like I vaccum way too much. I think the best idea would be a tray that I could put newspaper on top. Clean up would be much easier with this. What do most people do to help maintain the mess?

If you have carpet, use the plastic strips, I have the hard wood Look a like floor, and I just line it with newspaper, One of mine likes to poop hanging on the side of the cage, so all his poop hits the floor, I put a box down in his favorite spot and it was cheap and it worked.

They have seed catchers such as this, I never used one so I don't know if they work or not. To me just something else to clean. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Bird-Cage-Seed-Guard-Seed-Catcher-Full-UNDER-CAGE-KHAKI-/200584320765?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item2eb3c1d6fd

Shadow has a personal cleanup crew.....my 3 tiny chihuahuas have no problem cleaning up after her. Actually I am not sure who enjoys it more, the bird who throws the food or the eager little dogs waiting for it. :rolleyes:

I use a horse stall mat, under Sam's cage. It makes it so much easier to clean (unfortunately he's in a carpeted room) and it works great. I vacuum it daily and wash it down once a week. It's been so mild in the North East, that I am still able to take it outside and hose it down.

I have tried to work with " side barriers, etc". I finally realized they are sooo messy, I will never win. I finally found a happy medium... put painters plastic under two cages, two gyms. I still change the newspaper every two days under their home. Plastic, I change weekly. Nancy
