*Always clean away from your bird. If you feel the need to use chemicals, place your bird in a well ventilated and isolated room with a hepa filter and a towel under the door. Check the drafts in your home. If possible, create the bird room where the draft enters to prevent air born toxins from flowing down draft into a closed room.

I secure temporary structures, perches and toys with hooks & bungees because I make and change them frequently. Appropriate use of depends on bird’s energy & habits. Watch to make sure toes or beak do not get caught and your bird is not chewing the materials. Each bird is different and may require a different setup, such as screw-in perches.
