Smoop

I have cleaned the cage with demestos and thoroughly rinsed and wiped it until I could not smell the cleaner on the cage and then left the cage out in the sun for a better part of a day. All ready for our newest member of the family hopefully I will have some photos to post by tommorrow

Well this is interesting! I planted cilantro, for us humans, and underneath the word "cilantro", the seed package had the word "coriander" on it. Either as its Latin name, or else because everything here is written in English and Spanish. Either way, I was surprised to see that cilantro and coriander were the same thing. But in any case, I have been giving it to my budgies all summer, so, I don't think it's toxic. Yes Cilantro and Coriander are the same thing. I have noticed Americans call it Cilantro and us Aussies call it Coriander.

Sorry to hear about your birds I just read the list and have a story to tell. Coriander - all parts are toxic My Bleep (Lost due to an open backdoor) used to go crazy over corriander. He would even try and bathe himself in it, funniest thing I have seen. He loved the stuff and never once did it affect him badly in any way. Is corriander only mildy toxic ? or is this incorrectly on the list ? I will definately consult this list before giving new things to my budgie from now on.

Thanks splat, wasnt too sure what chemicals I could use And thank you for your welcome message.

Would like to know how I should clean my cage ready for a new budgie. We had a lost budgie which we found a new home in the cage last week and want to know how to clean the cage ready for a new baby. Im sure if I use a weak bleach solution and then thoroughly rinse it is what I should do, but wanted to ask so as to not harm our new little baby. Also what would kill any nasty bacteria that might be hanging around in the cage from the previous bird ? Thank you for your help Paul.
