Deep clean for your aviary or bird housing. Complete scrub, disinfect, and refresh using bird-safe products - your feathered friends deserve a properly clean space.
### Give Your Birds a Fresh, Healthy Home
Bird housing gets **properly mucky** over time. Droppings, seed husks, feather dust, spilled food, mouldy patches - it all builds up no matter how good your daily routine is.
A proper deep clean isn't just about appearance - it's about **bird health**. Dirty conditions can lead to respiratory issues, foot problems, and bacterial infections. Plus, let's be honest, you shouldn't have to spend your Sunday scrubbing bird poo.
> 💡 **Pro tip:** Regular deep cleans actually reduce daily maintenance time - a properly clean aviary is much easier to keep tidy between professional visits.

What to Expect
### Step 1: Safe Prep I set up a temporary safe space for your birds, then systematically remove perches, dishes, toys, and all the bits. Everything gets sorted into what's being cleaned and what's being replaced. ### Step 2: Deep Clean Full strip-out of bedding and waste, then proper scrubbing with bird-safe disinfectant. I get into all those awkward corners and crevices where muck builds up. Outdoor aviaries get pressure washed. ### Step 3: Fresh Reset Once everything's rinsed, dried, and passed inspection, I reassemble with fresh bedding, clean accessories, and put your birds back into their sparkling home. They usually have a good explore straight away.

Good to Know
> 🎨 **Post-illness clean?** Let me know if your birds have been unwell - I'll use stronger disinfection and make sure any potential contamination is properly dealt with. **Multiple aviaries?** Bundle them together - you'll save on per-cage costs and I'm already set up with all the cleaning gear. **Devon's damp climate** means outdoor aviaries are prone to algae and mould, especially on the shaded sides. I treat these properly as part of the clean - essential for bird respiratory health in our wet Exeter weather.
Frequently Asked Questions about Aviary clean in Dawlish
What's included in an aviary clean?
Full deep clean - I remove all bedding and waste, scrub perches and surfaces, clean food and water dishes, disinfect with bird-safe products, and reassemble everything fresh. Your birds get moved to a safe temporary space during the clean.
Do you bring cleaning products?
Yes - I use proper bird-safe disinfectants and cleaning products. Some household cleaners are toxic to birds, so I make sure everything's suitable. If your birds have specific sensitivities, let me know when you book.
How often should I get my aviary deep cleaned?
Depends on the number of birds and size of the space, but most people do a professional deep clean every 2-3 months alongside their regular daily maintenance. Larger aviaries with more birds might benefit from monthly cleans.
Can you clean while the birds are still in there?
For small portable cages, I'll need to move the birds to a temporary space. For larger walk-in aviaries, I can work section by section so the birds just move to the other end - they're surprisingly unbothered once they realise what's happening.
What about outdoor aviaries?
No problem - I clean outdoor aviaries too. Weather permitting, I'll pressure wash the larger outdoor structures and treat for algae or mould. Takes a bit longer to dry but gives brilliant results.
