Hi , im thinking about getting a ggc ( i also have a budgie so i know basic care for birds) but i just wanted to know:
1. other than a good full diet of pellets (e.g harrisons veg and ocassional fruit and seeds) , hand washing before and after handling the bird and washing bowls,toys, cage with disinfectant is there anything else i can do to prevent disease or illness with my ggc?
2. how often should you properly clean their cage and toys , i was thinking removing old and laying fresh top sheets of newpaper daily or when it looks needed , cleaning food bowls daily and then giving the whole cage a disinfected clean once a week. would this be ok?
3.how often should you go for vet check ups ?
Thankyou , just trying to find answers for questions the books don't usually make very clear
