Michelle,
Thanks for all of the helpful suggestions. I don't know why I didn't think of putting papers around the playgyms. I use papers under the grate as mine do use every inch of their cages. I guess I get really tired when I'm cleaning cage grates as it makes my back hurt. I have a friend that is able to lay papers on the grates and it doesn't take her much time to clean up her cages. I do try to make food in bulk, but sometimes I end up making it daily or every other day. My problem is to feel my best I need my full 8 hours of sleep. I'd never be able to keep up with your schedule. It makes me admire you even more. I do feel that I need to be with the birds when I have them out of their cages. I have to take them all at once (the 5 macaws) or the roof will raise off of the house if one or two are left in the bird room alone. They scream for each other. I realize that I have created this problem by not changing up the schedule. Thanks for all of your great suggestions. I knew I could count on you to give me some new ideas. Carol
