Josh- how in the world would you know about such things!!!??!! That poor little bird. I'd throw it all out also. I use combat discs that work really well. I even have a couple under Ruby's cage - just in case. Good luck! Hope this doesn't give you nightmares!

I thought I was going crazy! I see it first typed as 'bong', and I figure its a typo. Then the word pops up from several different people and then I'm wondering if all the 'i's have disappeared from my screen....that or this is just way over my head!

Her boing hangs from the ceiling and it is a little big for the cage but as she comes out first thing in the am it is no big deal to move it around. We did get rid of almost everything. We picked her up on a Sat evening and all the stores were closed so I had no choice but to use it. The "boing" is the only thing that she didn't freak out about( some toys she went crazy when she seen them).They also used a spray bottle when she did something they didn't like and bathing has been a struggle we have to go into the shower with her before she will go in the water and she will just walk around in the tub but doesn't seem to mind us scooping water with our hands on her. I know that I will have to pick my battles and just decide which is more important She ignored it and went to her ring when we moved it but did go to bed easier so it may work out ok. It is in good shape and I spent 2 hrs sanitizing it on Sat with boiling water. She is getting better about her cage and I am not sure if she slept the first night worrying about whether the bugs would come. So my bargain bird that we felt since she came with cage was a fair price is now worth a fortune but I wouldn't have it any other way she is such a delight to have and is adding new(or new to us) things to her vocabulary each day. We have decided to let her have it out of her cage during the day and about 8 we will put it in her cage. It seems that every time one of us goes to town she gets something new and since you can't buy for one without getting everyone else something there are many new things in the house. Oh well it is only money and somethings are worth more than money. We have seen some improvement in her cage attitude less fretting and she plays with everything in her cage. Sorry about the bong thing but you know how it is you don't always see it and I wouldn't know about the bong thing although the image of the bird with bong is slightly well lets face it is hugely funny thanks for all the suggestions and the laughs

Yep, I would say change is good, its time for your new friend to have new things, Roaches are like a virus, hard to get rid of and they multiply...
Hope Josh doesn't confuse ROACHES....
Poor little bird living with those creepies...
