Easy Clean, Reusable Bird Cage Liner Sheets - December 2018

​We have a pet budgie and I did not want to use newspaper as a cage liner as I read that the newsprint can be toxic to pet birds. I was also horrified at the cost of shop bought grit and sand sheets for lining the bottom of the bird cage (about a $1 a sheet). I wondered what I could use that would be 1. safe for the bird 2. environmentally friendly and 3. easy on my purse. I bought a pack of 3 flexible coloured plastic chopping mats ($3 for a pack of 3 at The Reject Shop). Our bird's cage is large so I use 2 of these mats (slightly overlapped) on the base of the cage. They are food grade (so no toxins) and can be washed and re-used over and over again saving me $100's each year and without any harm to our bird.
