Hi.

 

Im curious to know what others use to clean out their dirty bird dishes. Do you use plain water? Or dishwashing liquid? Or somthing else?

What do you use

 

Thankyou.

I put their food dishes in the dish washer

 

Clean water drinkers with hot water and let dry in sun.

 

I clean seed dishes only when they get dirty, normally clean them with hot soapy water.

 

You can use anything that is dish safe, as long as its rinsed well :lightbulb:

I have a sink plumbed into my birdroom. Everything gets washed in plain water with a huge splash of vinegar added.

I give soft food to all my birds daily so every day I gather them up and wash them with washing up liquid followed by a thorough rinse. I use the upturned jars as seed hoppers and they get cleaned every 2 months or so.

Thankyou all for the comments.

 

Renee, Roughly how much do those jar feeders cost?

thankyou.

Does your budgie club have a products table where they sell budgie equipment and meds Pearce ?

....most budgie clubs I know sell these feeders and many other things like this at prices below petshop prices.

Thankyou Kaz I will have to have a look. I have only been to the show once and their were only birds on display and for sale. I will go to the next meeting and see.

Just a note, if you using the same type of seed dispensing attachment as I am, I've discovered the the homebrand pickled onions from safeway is only $1.56 and there a nice large jar and they fit onto the plastic dispenser. I find this handy because I just pick up a couple every now and then whilst at the supermarket instead of having to wait until a show etc. I feel I little guitly when I empty the contents into the bin but I'm not a huge pickled onion eater and it was the cheapest item I could find in the supermarket with a large jar which fitted onto the plastic dispenser. Anyway hope this helps.
