Step 1: Check toys weekly
Look for droppings, food buildup, loose parts and frayed rope.
Step 2: Remove damaged toys
Throw away toys with sharp edges, loose threads or broken pieces.
Step 3: Wash with mild soap
Scrub with warm water, a gentle bird-safe soap and a brush.
Good to know: Avoid strong scented cleaners and bleach near your bird.
Step 4: Rinse thoroughly
Rinse well so no soap remains.
Step 5: Dry completely
Let toys dry fully in the sun or air before putting them back to avoid mould.
Step 6: Rotate toys
Keep a spare set so your bird always has toys while others dry.
