In the shed, I have four cages each of which can be divided into three cages for breeding. The cages are used as a winter home for most of my birds, and when it gets warmer, they are used for breeding cages.\u00a0<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><a>Drawers<\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Each cage has a drawer for easy cleaning. In addition the fronts of each cage can be removed &#8211; also for easy access for cleaning. Each drawer is emptied every 4 days. I use newspaper in the drawer, and put sand on top of it. Don&#8217;t use newspaper unless you change it often, as the birds will try to use it as nesting material after a few days.&nbsp;<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><a>Water drinkers<\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I use external drinkers, as this speeds up the tast of changing the water. Drinkers must be cleaned often.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><a>Baths<\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Zebra finches like to bathe, so a bath is provided for each. The baths must be cleaned often &#8211; especially during summer &#8211; to keep them free from algae.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><a>Cups<\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I have a number of cups for seed, rearing food and grit\/seashells. Cups should be cleaned regularly.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><a>Nestbox<\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Nestboxes (12 x 12 x 12 cm) are provided during the breeding season.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><em>This is a nostalgic page showing how I kept my birds in the early 1990&#8217;s.
