Budgie Hygiene

The health of your budgie is very important, but budgies don't just become immune to illnesses if you feed them ACV (Apple Cider Vinegar) or expose them to vitamin D3, it is also necessary to keep good hygiene practices. 
Simple hygiene practices such as cleaning food and water bowls daily can be the difference between a disease ridden, and healthy budgie. 

Some good hygiene practices include:
  • Washing food and water bowls daily
  • Cleaning bottom of the cage everyday if possible 
  • Scrubbing perches, toys etc. Once a fortnight at least ( or at least wiping with a damp cloth)
  • Giving the budgie a bath every week
  • Keep seed fresh in a sealed container 
  • Removing fresh foods after a few hours in the cage
Just by following these simple hygiene practices means that you can decrease the risk of disease.  If you want your budgie to live to a ripe old age hygiene is vital.
