There is no definitive answer to this question as different bird species exhibit different behaviors. Some birds seem to be able to control when they poop, while others seem to go whenever the urge strikes them. It is possible that birds who live in close quarters with other birds (such as in a birdhouse) learn to control their bowel movements in order to avoid making a mess.
No, you cannot put kitty litter in your bird cage. Kitty litter is made of clay and can be harmful to birds if ingested. There are special bird-safe litters made of recycled paper that you can use instead.
You can use puppy pads in your bird cage, but you will need to make sure that the pads are big enough for your bird to comfortably move around on. You will also need to make sure that the pads are placed in an area where your bird can't reach them and tear them up.
It's possible to train a bird to use a litter box, but it may take some time and patience. Start by placing the litter box in the bird's cage, and gradually move it to the area where you'd like the bird to use it. Put some of the bird's droppings in the litter box to encourage it to use it, and praise the bird when it does. Be prepared to clean the litter box frequently, as birds can be messy.

Aspen wood is much healthier for chickens than pine and cedar
Each 13 x 13 square comes with kraft paper on the bottom to keep the shavings together
12 PACK! Best value for the dollar
High quality USA grown aspen shavings- 12 pack! MADE IN USA!

These are far better than the ones I previously purchased at our neighborhood farm supply store. I had purchased a 10-pack of a different brand to use in my nesting boxes, but my hens simply laughed at me. When the girls tried to fluff up the other nesting material, they could only scrape the paper backing off of it (think of a 1/16" nesting material on 12x12" wax paper). Wonderful nesting pads like these. I started by using these pads in 2 of my 4 nesting boxes since I had previously used straw, but the chickens kept tearing it out all over the place. The females all began to lay in those 2 boxes. I eventually added it to all four after adding it to one more. Now that the nests have been thoroughly scratched and fluffed, the hens are laying in all 4 boxes rather than just 1 or 2. I've had the pads in place for about a month, and all I do is shake them out when they start to show signs of having noticeable dirty patches. I'll most certainly repurchase these!

Although it was suggested to me by a reputable pet store, I have been using crumbled paper litter for my finch's cage and have not been happy with it at all because it didn't absorb odors properly and I was cleaning their cage far too frequently. I came found this Kay Kob Bedding when browsing Amazon to see what they had to offer and to get my normal supplies for my babies. After reading all the positive reviews and claims made by users, I decided to start with the 8lb bag and give it a try. This comforter is AMAZING. Never again will I use another cage for my finches. I am about ready to order a bigger bag. No smell. I don't constantly clean their cage because my babies enjoy it. Anyone who owns birds should use this bedding, in my opinion. IT'S AMAZING!

I truly have no more positive things to say about this product for our Flemish Giant. Due to my extremely sensitive nose, I strongly detest "odor control" solutions that use so much fragrance that it overpowers the odor they are meant to mask. I find the smell of this product to be quite clean and neutral, and it gives the space it's used in a fresh scent. The only thing that gets to the bottom of the bedding is what we apply a small amount of baking soda for on the bottom of the pan along the edges the rabbit utilizes the most.Although the bedding doesn't literally "clump" the way cat litter does, it does make it very simple to scoop out of the box where the rabbit performs most of his business because it is so absorbent. I had no issues picking up the pellets with a slotted litter scoop and shaking out the bedding, leaving the majority of the clean bedding in the box. The amount of very large bedding pellets that are picked up along the route does not, however, make using the approach I have for cleaning the box difficult.Given the significance of using low-dust bedding for rabbits, this is ideal. The smallest bedding particles are still significantly larger than dust even when they are near the bottom of the bag. Pouring also doesn't release anything into the air, so you can tell that it's fairly clean.If I had to discover one flaw in the otherwise excellent product, it would be that the plastic press-seal strip is frequently too close to the bag when it is being heat-sealed. It's quite difficult to actually pull the bag open because I frequently have to cut along the plastic strip. However, it's a small complaint about a fantastic product overall.This product would be ideal if the price could just remain stable (it can change by 50% over a few weeks!).However, in general, I don't believe there is a better sleeping option for a rabbit.

Among the nicest things I've recently bought for myself, this is without a doubt. After washing dried feces off plastic for weeks on end, I made the decision to STOP! So I purchased these. And I don't have a single negative thing to say about them. $8 for three tiny liners that you chuck away when they become soiled first looks silly and financially wasteful, but let me assure you that IT'S SO WORTH IT. When you fluff out the bedding after putting the liner in, it looks so aesthetically attractive and clean that you simply have an overwhelming sense of bliss. The bedding is so soft and lovely. (Or is my inner clean freak acting up?) In any case, it's a wonderful sensation to have a beautiful and spotless cage for two minutes before your animal causes complete devastation.) In addition, there are times when I think there is a bit TOO much bedding in the pan. To avoid running out, I take a small amount from the top and save it in a small bag in case I ever need more bedding. If you're like me and ready to take the extra step, you could also just remove the used bedding, wipe the liner clean with a paper towel dampened with water and cage disinfectant, and then replace it with fresh bedding.Ultimately, this liner bedding combination has saved me more time and money than I like to admit, and I wholeheartedly suggest it to everyone who owns pets.

I used to give my birds bedding made of corn cobs, but I've since moved to bedding made of walnuts. It effectively absorbs odors, is simple to scoop clean, and vacuums up with ease if any are spilled.The holes in ordinary cat litter scoops are simply too large, so you really can't use them to clear it out (especially if you have small birds like budgies). The Zilla Reptile Terrarium Bedding Substrate Litter Cleaner Corner Scoop, which has smaller than usual holes and does a decent job of removing the majority of the excrement from the litter, is something I recently acquired.

The best gravel paper is this one.They enjoy the gravel because it benefits their nails as well. They stay trim as a result.
Yes, birds can get bored if they are left alone without any stimulation. This is why it's important to provide your bird with plenty of toys and perches to keep them occupied. Otherwise, they may start to pluck their feathers or become aggressive.
It is possible that birds in captivity can become bored, especially if they are not provided with enough stimulation. Boredom can lead to negative behaviors such as feather-picking or excessive vocalization. To help prevent boredom, bird owners should provide their pet with plenty of toys and perches, and rotate them regularly. They should also make sure the bird has access to natural sunlight and fresh air.
Birds are social creatures that live in flocks in the wild. When they are kept in cages, they can become lonely and depressed. Without the companionship of other birds, they can become bored and listless. A lack of social interaction can also lead to health problems.
No, birds do not need a nesting box to lay eggs. Some birds will build a nest in a tree or on the ground, while others will lay their eggs in a nest that is already built.
No, birds do not need litter. They are able to find their own food and do not need our help.
There are a few things you can do to keep your bird cage warm at night. One is to use a cage cover. Another is to place the cage in a warm room or near a heat source. You can also use a heat lamp to keep the cage warm.
