Please get rid of that corn cob!!
Go back to using news paper
A layer of paper can be removed in seconds and no dry poop dust
The corn cob is a wonderland of mold and bacteria!!
If the bird gets some in her crop it will puff up like a sponge
and not pass. -Dead bird-
Corn cob is some Bad stuff and should not be used around birds
I have been to the places this stuff is processed
-rats,mice,mold,bugs,nasty- & remember mouse poop dust has
hookworms that can get into your bird FROM THE DUST!!
Just place severial layers of paper in the bottom of the cage &
remove a layer 1 or 2x a day.
