How do you keep the birds from coming out when you take off the bottom of the cage?

I sometimes place them in another cage while I reorganize and clean. On occasion I leave them in and quickly remove the top portion leaving paper underneath the cage.

That's a good question. I didn't keep the cage for that reason. It didn't have a pull-out tray for cleaning. It would have been a perfect cage otherwise....right size, good dishes, all that.....but need quick and easy clean up.

a birds instinct is to fly up when scared. My parakeets and cockatiels are rarely in the cage when I clean it, but my canary is terrified of the outside. He ALWAYS flies up. the doors are so large that I usually just roll the paper towels up and put new ones in using the doors.

Actually, I have devised ways to clean it without actually taking it apart, although I did once. On anlarge table I unhooked the clasps and carefully lifted the cage part off the base just high enough to clean and set it down adjacent to the base. It's very heavy (for me) and cumbersome so I don't clean it that way. I always cover the wire bottom grid with newspapers. These can easily be changed weekly or more often if you wish. Then I use a long vacuum wand to get under the grid which I lift at 1 end through the low seed cup doors.

I just sit it on the floor unclip the top and move the top onto the floor, but both my birds were hand raised so they don't worry when the bottom is taken off, I usually clean the cage when the birds are out of the cage. But the top lifts off easily so if you take it off slowly it shouldn't alarm the bird anyway

I put the cage on my table. Then I made sure they were all on a perch and quickly slid the cage sideways onto the table which had been covered by newspaper. Reversed the plan after cleaning the bottom of the cage n

There is a metal tray below the roosting area where most of the droppings accumulate.This tray slides out for cleaning.Also 2-section nesting box has removable bottom/floor you will have to clean.Works fine for up to four chickens if you open each day to free range.this coop is way way to small to keep chickens in full time.

My husband always fills it but he said u line it up by looking at the bottom of the bird, shut the lid and turn the bird to lock it down. Hope that helps.

You can remove the perches. There is a screw on the bottom that allows you to remove the perches.

No pull out bottom. You have to take the top to clean the cage.The cage has 2 front drop down openings.

Won't let pigeons in unless they learn to hang on the outside of the edge of the bottom tray.

yes it can be removed but it you have smaller birds they can go right out the bottom there is a few inch gap

I have used transparent sticky tape around the box to attach it to the cage.Just watch for the first several days that budgies will not start picking it.

You can find almost anything on youtube. I went there and it give detail on how to clean it and you do need to take it totally apart. Seed gets stuck in the bottom around the yellow part and if you don't take it apart, you can't clean it. There a place to push in at the bottom part after the cage is removed, to release the plastic tube for detail cleaning. If you don't keep it clean, the birds will stop using it.

Well, I don't know what to tell you except maybe practice the squeeze maneuver before putting out for the birds. I don't have any issues with it. Doesn't take much pressure to squeeze it off the nail heads. I did practice doing it as quietly and quickly and smoothly as possible so as to not disturb the birds. Once I had a clutch of newborns and I wanted to check on them. I was very fast and got away quickly. Mom and Dad scolded me loudly and I never went near them until after they fledged. Cleaned out the house and within 2 weeks I had a new renter. I like this bird house very much but I don't check it now except to clean out the detritus after the fledging happens.

The top cage part simply lifts off of the base. It's very light, just set it aside and clean out the pan, and then wipe off the shelves. I use water/vinegar mixture since it doesn't harm the animal.

Not sure but we keep parakeets in this cage and they cannot get out. If you're asking about the prech bars, again I'm not sure. I will be need a few fo those soonn though.

I had small birds get stuck in it, so I ended up taking it down and putting up wire fencing with t-posts instead. I had to cut the netting to release the birds.

What types of birds do you have? I use this playstand mostly with my conure, who was scared to come out of her cage after a move to a new house. I rolled this stand up to her cage and left the door open. I lured her onto it with food so she could freely walk out onto it when she was ready. She felt more confident knowing she could go back to her cage when she wanted.By the way, my birds never used the "downstairs" part of the stand, unfortunately. They just poop on it!

Remove the screw holding the bottom perches together and separate the perches. The perches each have a small protrusion that engages the corresponding holes in the bottom casting. This allows the plastic cylinder to be pulled up from the bottom casting which can now be removed from the cage by removing the four screws on the bottom for further cleaning.

I have had mine down before the Wisconsin winter set in way before, to keep birds from flying into the window, works fine no problems, I have spacers between the bottom of the screen and window so when birds fly into the window they have a bit of airspace between the screen and window.

No easy to take off and put back on, I do it twice a week clean it and fill it again with food. It goes inplace of the food tray however, if your cage has a swinging door you can still use it but I am sometimes afraid that it will one day fall off and my bird will be able to get out. I have dogs so don't want him getting out of the cage when I am not home.
