How do you clean the immovable grates w/out putting your hand in the cage or removing the birds?

If you want to be sticking your hands in as little as possible, I'd cover it with paper. But to clean it I use hot 50/50 vinegar water solution, either poured directly on grate and then scrubbed off with a sponge, or a sponge dipped in pure vinegar.(but you have to stick your hand, a hot cup and then a sponge in there but to me its the quickest way.) If you use a bleach solution be sure to dilute it heavy with water (like 1/2 a tbl spoon for a 26oz, &remove; the food &water; first).

You can only remove the tray underneath to clean. We have avoided cleaning the immovable grates, by placing a newspaper on.

yes, it is very easy to remove. I take mine into the kitchen sink and clean it. It is Teflon coated, so it cleans like a breeze. You can also remove the grill and use it indoors. I roasted a whole chicken indoors one day when it was raining.

Yes, it can be removed, however, I wouldn't recommend it because it leaves a gap that could lead to an injured bird. I do not like my birds to walk on grates either so I put a layer of newspaper on top of the grate. The birds have a flat surface to forage on and it makes cleaning the bottom of the cage very easy--just change the newspaper, wrapping up whatever messes the birds have made in it. I have four budgerigars and it takes me about 5 minutes to wipe down their perches and change the newspaper every day.

Just get a grill cleaning brush. I use my brush to clean the grates after I use my grill and I've never had an issue getting anything off.

Very easy, you can actually unscrewed cage slip off each parts and clean each parts. That was a pleasant surprise to me.

Yes, it's easy to take down the window bird feeder and wash it with soap, warm water and a small amount of bleach. We include step by step instructions on how to clean the window bird feeder in the downloadable ebook that is available after purchase.

I just sit it on the floor unclip the top and move the top onto the floor, but both my birds were hand raised so they don't worry when the bottom is taken off, I usually clean the cage when the birds are out of the cage. But the top lifts off easily so if you take it off slowly it shouldn't alarm the bird anyway

The heater is not attached to the birdbath in any way. You just plop it in and lift it out.

No easy to take off and put back on, I do it twice a week clean it and fill it again with food. It goes inplace of the food tray however, if your cage has a swinging door you can still use it but I am sometimes afraid that it will one day fall off and my bird will be able to get out. I have dogs so don't want him getting out of the cage when I am not home.

Hello, Bottom grille and tray are easily removed for easy clean-up and the rounded corner seed guards curb messes outside the cage. Thank you for your inquiry.

Heat the grill up to temperature, oil the grates using a rolled up paper towel saturated with vegetable oil and you should be fine. I rarely have food stick to this grill and I've been using it for over 3 yrs. now. Cleanup is a breeze, just brush it down with a grill brush after you finish cooking while the grill is still hot and then again before you start cooking. Wait until the grill is hot and brush it down again and then oil the grates as I mentioned above.

The trays and the cage dividers can be removed (I removed them to give my birds more flight room). My birds always stay in their cage when I am cleaning. The cage itself is nice and large, but I found it a bit flimsy, when cleaning the birds. Still a really good buy.

The grate should be removed for the rabbit's sake. If the cage is cleaned regularly, there won't be any messy feet to deal with.

Clean the top of the grate with a bbq grill brush, pour some olive oil in a paper towel and wipe the tops of the grate with the wet part of the paper towel. Also, if you're cooking "sticky" type food, use a thin metal spatula to break loose the item you want to turn before hand.

I know this is late but I want to put my 2 cents in. The grates are there so the bird will not eat its' own poop and become very ill and may even die. What I did was I moved them into another cage and take that one out and thoroughly clean it with the hose.

The grill on the bottom actually keeps the bird out of the mess on the bottom. It pulls out easily. I clean mine by taking it outside and hosing it off and it cleans beautifully. I don't think it would hurt their feet. I don't think a green cheek could escape if you take it out, it just slides into a narrow opening.

There are a couple of things you can do. First remove the grate and wash it (either dishwasher or by hand). You should now be able to wipe out the lower part of the grill with hot soapy water. Before replacing the grill, turn on the burner to burn off any materials that landed on the burner. Over time, you'll end up with materials in the grill that are pretty difficult to remove, but they kind of turn to char over time...adding to the flavors!
