• Cage Cleaning: Periodically wipe down the cage bars and frame with a damp cloth and bird-safe cleaner. Avoid harsh chemicals.
• Bowl Cleaning: The stainless steel bowls should be cleaned daily with warm, soapy water to prevent bacterial growth.
• Perch Cleaning: Clean the wooden perch regularly to remove droppings and debris. Replace if it becomes too worn or damaged.

7. Troubleshooting

Common issues and solutions:

• Issue: The bottom tray slides out too easily during transport.
  Solution: Ensure the tray is fully inserted and any built-in clips are engaged. For added security during transport, consider using external clips or tape to temporarily secure the tray.
• Issue: Doors do not feel completely secure.
  Solution: Verify that all latches are fully engaged. If necessary, additional small, bird-safe clips (not included) can be used on the doors for extra peace of mind, especially during travel.
• Issue: Rust spots appear on the cage.
  Solution: While the cage is powder-coated for rust resistance, prolonged exposure to moisture or harsh conditions can lead to rust. Clean and dry the cage thoroughly after each use, especially if exposed to rain or high humidity.
