Bird nesting and bedding products help keep your bird's habitat clean, cozy, and comfortable. Whether you're setting up a nest for breeding or just lining the cage for everyday use, the right materials support both hygiene and well-being. With options ranging from natural fibers to paper-based liners, it's easy to create a healthy space that suits your bird's needs and preferences. Here's what to look for when choosing bird nesting and bedding materials:
A clean, well-lined cage supports your bird's health and makes daily care easier. For ongoing convenience, you can set up Chewy's Autoship service to keep nesting and bedding materials stocked- delivered right to your door, right when you need them.
Common nesting materials include coconut fiber, paper strips, soft hay, and cotton. These provide warmth and support for egg-laying and young birds, mimicking the comfort of natural nesting environments.
The best bedding is absorbent, low-dust, and non-toxic. Paper-based bedding, aspen shavings, and pelleted options are popular because they help control odor and moisture while being safe for birds.
Many bird parents use cage liners, paper bedding, or pelleted litter in the bottom of the cage. These options simplify cleaning and help monitor waste for signs of illness. Avoid cedar or pine shavings, which may contain harmful oils.
Bedding should be spot-cleaned daily and fully replaced at least once or twice a week, depending on cage size and the number of birds. Frequent changes help reduce odors and keep your bird healthy.
