Love it! How do you clean it?

Strawberries are one of my favorites, they should love that flight.

The middle is a drawer that opens to empty substrate. Each section of glass is double glass. So when the birds soil the glass, or just for cleaning, you take out the one piece and the second one stays on.

That is actually minimal. Most finches like plants (artificial), but you are limited because you have glass sides, so not as easy to attach things like more plants or perches. You might look into a way to add a perch or two with suction cups, like you have done with the two dishes. You will also have to experiment to see where best to place feeding dishes to avoid them being pooped on.

Where is the drinking water? And Strawberries love a bath (but that is something you can provide with a small bowl on the bottom).

The bath is in a bowl matching the one the seed is in. It has a few flat rocks so the water will be shallow enough. I thought they could use it for drinking as well as long as you clean and change it each day?

I have only two birds coming and won't be adding more for a few months. Still need more than two perches and two swings?
