Here is a great tip on birdcage cleaning submitted by Judith
We own several birds and this tip is what i tell friends. As close to the kitchen trash can as possible, spread several layers of newspapers on the floor covering at least one foot more than the size of the bottom of the cage.
Remove all toys, water dishes and food dishes and soak in hot soapy water. Although it is preferable to move the bird to another cage while doing this it is not inappropriate to leave it in the cage. Move the cage to the newspapers on the floor and remove the slide bottom of the cage and everything will fall right on the papers.
Wash the tray and return it in the slot and then put the tray protectors (we use wood chips) in. Return the clean toys and wash and return the food dish and water dish with fresh water and food. Return cage to where it belongs and just roll up the papers with all the crud on it and put it in the rubbish. End of clean up.
