I was wondering if there are any wet wipes that are bird safe that I could use for quickness to wipe the perches down first thing before going to work. The cage gets a proper clean at the weekend but just need a quick fix for the morning

That looks very good jellybean, but a cheaper way, and what I do mizloco is spray some F10 on my 'budgie' cleaning (J) cloth and wipe down the perches. Just rinse the cloth out afterwards and dry it (on the radiator), doesn't take long to dry even when radiator is off. Save your pennies!!

That's what I do too Shirls, but I use kitchen roll. Some people like wipes though, just another option, albeit a bit more expensive, lol.

Yes I saw them but they are quite expensive. It's may be that solution Shirls just have so little time in the morning x

I'm not posh enough to use J Cloths. My old vests do the job perfectly well.

I use the fragrance free baby wipes to give their cages a wipe in the evenings before bed. As I have three cages and nine birds, I use up 5 packs of 80 wipes a week.
As the F10 wipes are £8 for 100 that would cost me £32 a week in wipes!
I do use F10SC diluted, to clean their seed troughs, water bowls, plastic playground etc.

With 9 buds also I too go through 4-5 packs a week, JoJo uses a pack alone. Clean round night and morning in the cages and aviary and F10 everything in the big clean once a week
