How To Make a Cage Liner
Cage liners provide a simple, sanitary way to keep your bird's cage clean, but keeping a fresh supply on hand can get expensive. Homemade cage liners are an appealing alternative to the store-bought varieties, because you can make your own from common materials you already have around the house. You can custom-fit the liners to any size, which will accommodate even the most oddly shaped birdcage. With a little do-it-yourself initiative, you can keep your bird healthy without draining your bank account.

Tips & Warnings
You can also create a custom-fit cage liner from white paper towels, brown paper bags or butcher paper.
To streamline the changing process, place a stack of liners in the bottom of the cage and remove one or two layers each day.
Avoid using colored or glossy paper as a liner. These might contain harmful chemicals.
Never use kitty litter, corn cobs, walnut shells or wood shavings at the bottom of your bird's cage. These types of bedding can create health problems for your bird.
