Can you take it apart for cleaning at the end of the nesting season?

The door opens, has a metal clip that slides to open the door, and latch it again after cleaning.

No need to take it all apart. If you look closely at the bottom right of the label, you'll see a little bar or pin that can be moved to allow the front to tilt up so you can clean the inside of the house.

yes, the door lifts up, and then you just clean out the old nesting material and the end of the season...very simple.

The front of the house tilts open and you can clean the house out. I was pleased to have wrens nest in this house last year!

I think so. I'd be comfortable leaving your Eclectus in it for short visits (2 weeks?) if you are planning on using the top perch and giving out-time.

There are wingnuts on the bottom that can removed to disassemble the feeder. Should provide convenient access.

You can do that but I don't recommend it. One day I left it overnight in my backyard and the next day I have a big toad inside looking for humidity, so I have to clean it good. If you want to do that make sure you cover it good so anything goes inside. My child's love it..

I have used this type of fan for years. And yes you can take it apart by taking out some screws on both sides, but i like to just spray it down with the garden hose and then let it dry for the day.

Yes, you can gently break it apart (in a sealed bag for safety) with a hammer.

Yes, remove the mats during off-season. Store them rolled or flat. They are as easy to lay out next winter as they were this past winter.

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.

It is very easy to take apart and clean. You will need a brush to clean it thoroughly .

Practice. If you squeeze and gently turn the house slightly or squeeze more to one side to get it off one of the screws it should come right off. It is a terrific house and once you get over the initial fear of moving it once nesting has begun you should have no problems - except perhaps that it is a popular piece of real estate! I'm getting another one :-)

I couldn't find a way to separate without breaking it. So I end up just rinsing it out after use. In that way it is a poor design. If someone knows how to do it, I would be interested in knowing too.

I would definitely not dismantle it. It's a lot of work to do that every time. The greenhouse itself is very light and can be easily moved by two people without much effort. We keep use ours to keep fruit trees and plants from freezing in the winter. In the summer we plan to move it to the other side of our house and grow tomatoes.

You don't break it down. When you're not using it just leave it assembled and store it somewhere.

I do not take it apart. I mix a small amount of bleach with hot water and soak the top completely. This kills everything.

No don't take it apart just bring it in on end you should be able to put it in almost any room that way

Yes. You have to take the parts out of the top but they come apart and go back together easily. I just rinse mine off and perhaps give light scrub with a soapy sponge now and then.

Yes!! The whole cage part is one big piece, attached by two (easy to undo) plastic hooks on each side to the grey plastic base. Pull that off and put it to the side, then the little loft area just sits in the cage, remove that and you're good to clean!
