Quick Cleaning of Crevices

Some cages are not easy to clean. A thorough cleaning is certainly recommended when needed. However, when the cracks and crevices in hard to reach places get dusty or have bits of dry debris accumulating, you might resort to a quick fix.

I keep a "can of air" around. You know, the kind sold in office supply stores to clean out dust from electronic or computer equipment. It's not really air, it's compressed gas. These cans are labeled ozone safe and CFC free but I only use this method with the bird out of the area.  For one thing, the sound would be off putting to a parrot!

A few quick shots from the canned duster and, voila, the dry bits are blown away.  Works like a charm! 

The can comes with a long tube to get into tiny grooves.  Way cool.
