One of my favorite subjects is what do you use for covering the bottom of the bird cage floor ? Do you use Corn Cob, shavings, ground cardboard or Crushed Walnut Shells ?
I stopped using shavings many years ago. It is a mess and goes all over the floor. If you have any breathing problems, the shavings will do you in. LOL
The Corn Cob doesn't seem to absorb much and the ground up cardboard doesn't interest me. My choice is the crushed walnut shells. They are extremely safe and easy and less expensive to use. I noticed that in the bird store where I shop they covered all the bottoms of the wooden bird stands with the shells. It clumps up just like cat litter. I scoop it up with a special cat scoop with small holes and shake the crushed shells back into the bottom and throw the waste away. It lasts a long time and I never see it on the floor.

I can't use regular paper because the birds pull it up through the grate.
