Today was cage cleaning day for my parakeet…
It was quite a hassle!!!
-
To start off, the air conditioner has been broken for a few days, it’s 85 degrees upstairs and low seventies downstairs.
I find that I am quite a chameleon when it comes to this sudden change in temperature and I have been upstairs most of the time enjoying the sudden heat.
my bird has been in a travel cage for a few days while we get the air conditioner fixed, (travel cage is very large, we just decided not to bring his absolute elephant of a cage down the stairs.)
When I was ready, I got all of his toys out of the cage and it took 5 minutes to get his cage about 5 steps from the bonus room to the bathroom.
then it took another ten to take the cage apart and soak the toys in the sink while the large perches and cage parts went in the tub.
after many flashbacks of clogging the drain last time, I decided to hose down the bottom tray…….
The drain was still very clogged anyways!
So I had to run downstairs and sneak some baking soda and vinegar upstairs to unclog the drain. Sticking my hands in the poop-infested water was the worst part.
After about twenty minutes everything went down the drain nicely and I cleaned everything off with a towel.
Oh the things I’ll do for my bird
