Cleaning a bird’s cage is no easy task. Because there are so many steps to getting the cage clean, there’s no way you can leave your bird cooped up inside while you complete your chore. What should you do with your bird in the meantime?

Let him wander around in the same room that you’re in. Give your bird something to do, like a new treat or toy to explore. If his wings aren’t clipped, make sure the fans are off and the door is shut.

If you don’t have a social species, and you have a bird like a Finch instead, it would probably be best to get another cage. That way, you can transfer the bird to that cage while you’re cleaning his original home.
