Hmm... I've never had a problem with smells from my birds. There has been a few times where I didnt get to clean the cage for a maximum time span of like 3 days but ti still smelt fine.

Thats odd, if u have an Avian Vet I suggest you should take them to the him/her and see if there is an internal problem.

That is strange. Not to scare you but if the feces has a smell it is usually due to a parasite. I would get the vet to do a fecal swab and see. Because birds do not smell bad even if the cage has not be cleaned for a while.

For cleaning you can use vinegar and water, gets rid of germs in a natural way but I would get a vet check up.

I usually let my birds cage go without clean
for 1 week, that could be because my bird is
just not that messy yet..any way it never gave
me a bad odor.
