Floor covering for house

[spiralsan69]

Hello everyone, I joined to see if anyone can advise me about getting a new floor for my house.

I have 4 budgies, and they're usually flying free, often in the hall/stairs/landing which is nice and spacious for them. At the moment the area is carpeted and I just put newspaper down under their favourite spots, but it's time to replace the carpet so I might as well get something more bird-dropping friendly. Does anyone have any advice on what to get, or what's a really bad idea to get? I'm considering hardwood, engineered wood, cork, vinyl, linoleum, bamboo, ...

Thanks in advance for ideas.

Something easy to clean but whatever you get just be sure to wait unless all fumes from glues etc have dissipated before allowing the birds fly range in these areas again. You might just have to contain them for a week or so. I don't really think any of your ideas are completely out of the question at all.
