Using your Booda Comfy Flexible Cotton Bird Perch is a piece of cake. First, find a good spot in your bird's cage. The screw - cap makes it easy to attach. You can place it anywhere you like, considering your bird's preferences. When it comes to cleaning, simply take it out of the cage and wash it with mild soap and water. Make sure it's completely dry before putting it back in the cage. Avoid using harsh chemicals as they might damage the cotton. Also, keep an eye on your bird's interaction with the perch. If the perch shows signs of excessive wear, it's time to replace it for your bird's safety and comfort.
