I absolutely LOVE F10! I haven't dealt with red poop yet... but it even gets the cockatiel poop out of the carpet quickly and easily! I used poop off before and it doesn't seem to do any better than the F10 yet. I love that a tiny bit goes a long way!
Great video Sophie! “Poop off” is a miracle in bottle, same with F10 although I agree about being careful which F10 you buy, I made that mistake a few months ago and had to change it back to the F10 without the pine smell.
Great stuff there, we use the same F10 & dilute the same way and every couple of mornings I spray it above the cage to let it settle to give a quick disinfect. I also had a Johnson’s ready spray specifically for bird cages from Pets at Home, I think it’s called ‘clean & safe’ which is kept as back up. For bowls and everything else I use Ecover washing up liquid as it’s chemical free and plant based and you can get a whole bottle refilled again cheaply in some small shops 🙂x
@BirdNerdSophie Thank you for your reply. I forgot that I have a second question. It's about budgerigar behaviour. (Their names are Coco and Melon). Melon often flies back and forth in the cage while screaming. He does this almost all morning/afternoon. It looks like he's trying to escape. This makes Coco feel nervous and also starts to scream. Is this normal behaviour? I've had them for 5 days now.
What should I use to clean the bathroom? I have a bathroom right next to the bird room, and I don’t want any harmful fumes or anything getting to them. But I think bathrooms require a bit of a stronger cleaner than just vinegar. They never go inside the bathroom, so I’m not worried about them ingesting any of it.
I usually just use F10 to clean the bathroom - if the time comes where I have to use something stronger for a different job, then I shut the door to the bird room, open the bathroom window, rinse thoroughly and use the air purifier 😊
I wish I could get those bc it would really help with my very messy borbs But I'm just using the vinegar and water mixture for them and it's doing great so far :D But awesome video :D
We offer a variety of fresh vegetables, sprouted seeds grains and legumes, soaked nuts and a little fruit in the morning. In the evening we offer freeze dried and dried vegetables and a huge diverse dry mix as it can stay in overnight without going bad!
This question is offf the topic I was wondering what dose it mean when my conure purrs or gowls its hard to really say if its one or the other my husband and I are hoping this means she just happy
Hi Sophie, after wiping the cage down with dilated vinegar n water do I have to wipe it down again with plain water? Or will just drying it down with a cloth be ok instead. Thank you so much.
Hey Sophie, I have a question and you may not know the answer but would you say the pink stuff brand is safe for parrots? I sometimes use all their products so thats the paste, the cream, the spray and the toilet cleaner and it says that they're natural and don't use chemicals but I'm still not sure if they're safe for birds. Please reply back if you do know, would help a lot! Also thank you for being so informative and making great videos 😁
Hey! 😊 it’s been a long time since I used the pink stuff! Does it have a fragrance/odour to it? If you are going to use it then it’s probably safer just to do so In rooms without birds!
@@BirdNerdSophie Thanks for replying 😊 it has a little fragrance to it, its kinda sweet but not strong and yeah I was thinking of just doing that but just wanted to check anyway
Hi Sophie! We have carpet at home as well, we always want to wash off with one of those washing vacuum and wondering if you have opinion on any "safe for bird" disinfectant that can add to the carpet washing vacuum, for recommendation?
Hey! I am yet to see a safe product that you can use around birds for carpet cleaning machines! It would be safer to steam clean them using just water!
I usually avoid baby wipes in the cage as even the unscented ones have variable ingredients, but they can be good for cleaning outside of the cage poops 😊
@@BirdNerdSophie inside her cage I just bamboo on the bottom of the cage but when it comes to her going to poop she seems to go beside my computer screen lol or most of the time she will fly back to the top of her cage
Hey Sophie. Another great video and so important. What could I use or if any of your followers can say to clean woodfloor? Is there anything remoetly nice I can use to give it a fresh smell lol. Also if the bathroom is not near and both bath and bird room doors are closed its ok to use normal products plus window open? Also what about kitchen surfaces? (Sorry for all the qs) 😇😇
Hi Raj, I use the F10 on my kitchen surfaces! For the bathroom, if it’s far away from the birds and you air the room out as you clean then yes! It’s not something I can say in the bulk of the video though as people will misinterpret it! As for wood floors, I use F10 as well!
I have hard wood flooring all throughout my home. I use a steam mop and lightly steam. It's wood and porous too much steam will make the wood swell and harbor bacteria. So I just go lightly over it with steam mop. Then I little lemon juice and mineral oil to buff and polish. I use this method also on molding and wooden furniture pieces. Hope this helps!!!
Thank you for the recommendations! I mostly use vinegar, water, and dish soap for all my bird cage and household cleaning. I was wondering if you had any recommendations or advice for dishwasher pods or dishwasher detergent? My bird’s cage is in an open floor plan area and in the same area as the dishwasher. Is using a “normal” detergent like Cascade ok? (this is not being used in my bird’s cage, I’m just wondering if the odor would cause any issues?)
It should go without saying, but these are products to use for cleaning your bird's cage and around the house, NOT for use on your bird!

I leave the poop off to sit for a few second, then scrub with an old rag and repeat if necessary! But yes F10 is brill!

Poop off is awesome isn’t it!
And I use F19 everywhere- so useful!
Thank you for your channel!!! Feels like one of the few solid channels I can turn to ❤❤
Thanks for your kind words 🥰
can I use the distilled vinegar instead of f10 for disinfecting cage?
Yes white distilled vinegar is fine to use 😊

Yes, I’ve requested this video.. thank you!! 👌🏻👍🏻 great video!!!
Glad you liked it 😊
Does the poop-off smell go away when it dries? Or does the smell remain on the sticks and toys
It goes away after a few hours!
@BirdNerdSophie Thank you for your reply.

He does this almost all morning/afternoon. It looks like he's trying to escape. This makes Coco feel nervous and also starts to scream. Is this normal behaviour? I've had them for 5 days now.
Just use hot water and a tooth brush to remove poop 💩
Awesome!

Vinegar and water is perfectly fine 😊 thanks for watching!
Washing up liquid could have bad things it it. I use Dawn or Dove with much water.
Washing up liquid is the equivalent of Dawn in the UK and is perfectly safe to use when rinsed off afterwards.
How many times should we give vegetables to our birds? Is once in the morning and once in the evening ideal?

Haha it's a miracle product 😁

quick question my budgie keeps like sneezing in a way! i’m guessing i have dust in my room any recommendations ??!
We always recommend an air purifier to help with dust and dander but sneezing can also be a sign of a respiratory illness!
@@BirdNerdSophie ahh okayy! he doesn’t do it a lot only here and there what should i do if it is a respiratory illness???
@@lowky7075 you’d have to see an avian vet to treat a respiratory illness!

@@petprophet3081 thank you so much. Yeah little lemon juice or orange in hot water will give it a nice smell :))
I just recently bought “Poop Off” and it was so helpful! It really dissolves the poop easily and makes it very easy to wipe off. Thanks!
It's awesome isn't it! Wish I'd bought it sooner!

Normal dishwashing detergent is fine 😊 if it’s super potent then you can open a window but it shouldn’t cause any issues!
@@BirdNerdSophie Thank you!
