Paper is by far the easiest. Sand is a nightmare to clean out on a regular basis. I bought my last cage from Everything Birds and they sold me cage liners that fit my specific cage. I think their store is at www.bird-cage.com. All the best! JOHN

For a Pet Cockatiel should you use bird sand and if so how is it used?
Bird sand or some type of bird grit is a must for cockatiels, as they need it to help them digest their food. All you need to do is sprinkle a small handful on the bottom of their cage whenever you change the paper (at least once a week). An alternative is to get some sand and grit, mix it in a feeding bowl, and keep it on the side of the cage, near their normal seed bowl.
What to put on bottom of cockateil cage?
If there is a separate bottom in the cage under the bottom grate, there is always newspaper. If it doesn't have the bottom grate, there is a product made from ground up corn cobs. another product is compressed pellets of sawdust. this is more for rodents. A new product is thin strips of paper but I find this messy. The corn cobs are probably the best and if they eat it, it is no big deal.
Is it normal for a female budgie to eat the sandpaper at the bottom of her cage?
Most seed eating birds require grit of some form in their diet. It is used in their gizzard to grind against the seeds to break them down. If no other grit is available to your bird she is using the sand from the sand paper for the same purpose. Female birds alo need a source of Calcium in order to make shells for their eggs. Cuttlefish bone is commonly hung up in the cage for this purpose.
