>(Twist ties work just fine, to attach a sheet to the >inside ....) of a cage -- or, you can also just tear >the sheet corners to make two 'strips' of fabric, then >use them to act as ties, threading the strips through >the cage wires, and tying them on the outside of the >cage. > >I have a walk-in closet for my boys, about 4' x 6'. >It has a 'U' shaped upper shelf, and three nest boxes >(one on the middle of the U, on the top, and one on >each side of the U, hung from the shelf supports, >below. These side boxes have their own attached >'porch', under the box opening). Along the three >walls, I attached cup hooks under the shelf level. At >Wallyworld, I bought a cheap (a buck a yard)remnant of >a crinkle-cotton cloth, 54" wide, and about 8 yards, >or so. I hung this cloth like a drape, around the >closet walls, giving the boys something upon which >they can easily climb. > >I figured it would be easily washed, if the boys used >it to pee -- but my boys pee along the back shelf, >topside, which I line with white paper towel. I >change the paper once a week (more, in the Autumn, >when they have acorns ...), and that seems to be >enough. They also mostly use the back shelf for >droppings, too. They will also poo along the den's >window sill -- but it vacuums up easily enough. >They're rarely closed into the closet, except when I'm >in 'full cleaning' mode, and working on the den, and >have the den door to the hall open. > >Sheets hung along walls, like drapes, give flyers >plenty of fun places to play. If you can buy a cheap >cloth hanging shoe-bag, they love those, too, and they >can be hung from a wall. > >When I started these wall hangings, it was mostly for >pups. I was always concerned that if a pup wound up >on the floor, it would be difficult for them to gain >access to the high nest boxes. Arranging something >that extended from the floor to the nest box level was >the reason I began with the cloth 'drapes' -- and it's >worked quite well! > >SOME day, I'm going to get the aviary built I want for >my crew -- but for now, the interior aviaries have to >do ... sigh. > > >>We power wash on the driveway using plain water, but >>it is getting cold. Have lots of acorns, so her pee is >>smelling stong. >>I had put cloth around the OUTSIDE of the cage with >>paper towels inside of it but on the outside of the >>bathroom corner. >>Your way will be much better! I won't have to wash >>everything so often. How do you attach the sheet >>inside? With twisties? >> >>>If your flyer tends to urinate on one side of their >>>cage, the urine running down the wire, you might want >>>to consider taking an old sheet, and tying it to the >>>inside of the cage side that the flyer is wetting. >>>The idea is for the flyer to wet the sheet, instead >of >>>the bars of the cage. Then, you can just toss the >>>sheet in the wash, once a week. My crew seem to >think >>>my sweatshirt works just fine, as a latrine! >>>Particularly when I'm wearing it!!! lol!
