Harv and i where talking about giving the avairy and cabinets a real good clean over the weekend.
Whats required to do the job.
Do we remove perches ect ect.

I'm doing mine too
Taking all the birds out, and cleaning everything. Walls, perches, roof, floor the lot. Also replacing all the brush, renovating feed stations, planting some grasses and basically revamping the whole thing

Thats our plan to Jay.
There are about 4 nests with eggs or babies in there could this be a problem(disturbing them)
I can divide the avairy to allow us to work without any birds in the way.

Hmm, depends on species.
My gouldians have eggs, but I'm not worried about removing them because they sit very tight - have to prod them off the nest to see the eggs (and they don't even leave the nest box when I take it down) so I think they should be fine in a different location.
Ruddies I wouldn't go near.
