Hi.
I just got a bird yesterday and he has started getting used to the living room (where we put him) His diet is fine and he plays with the toys we put in and goes to the bathrrom in his cage. My question is, how often should I change the newspaper at the bottom of the cage? My mom says every day so it doesn't stink up the whole house, but I think that every other day would be okay, because I can't smell anything. The guy at the pet store said that we have to play it by ear, or nose, but I don't smell anything and the paper isn't that gross. How often should I change the paper??
Thanks!!:-)
You don't want to just play it by nose. Even if you don't smell it, your bird might be living in it's own feces. So, if you see bird poop piling up, then clean it. It poo piles up after 1 day, then clean it daily, it's it's not that bad after 2 days, then clean it every other day.
