Is it safe to use F10 around birds? What is the reccomended dilution? Can I use in in their room to clean their walls(they threw veggies all over)?

I don't know how much I exactly did.. I don't have something to measure it with.. but I did roughly a few drops in 500 ml.

The directions say for general cleaning, 1:500. So that would be 1 ml to 500 ml.

For disinfecting, 1:250.

Yes it is safe to use around birds :) It's however not a good "cleaner" in my experience. It's definitely better as a disinfectant. For the walls, I find dawn dish soap and warm water far more effective.

Some additional information on F10 SC. I reached out to them to find out the shelf life once diluted.

"Thank you for your enquiry. F10 SC disinfectant is suitable to be kept for at least 6 months once diluted. It should be kept in a sealed container/bottle rather than open to the environment to ensure the solution does not become contaminated.

If using distilled water then you can extend this diluted ‘shelf-life’ to 2 years."

I used it to clean the trays this evening(it's that time of the week.. ugh) and it works nice. I left it for about 15 min to kill some of the possible bacteria, Fungi etc.

As long as the dilution is correct, you could bathe in it.
