Just wanted to post my upgrade to the poop board/litter box system. I tried sand for the floor substrate for about a year, and found it really messy and difficult to clean regularly. I even used a snow shovel with about 500 drill holes for scooping. Huge pain.

Poop boards beneath the perches - with a little sand, diatomaceous earth, and odor absorber - has been AWESOME. I scoop it once a week or maybe a little more frequently, and the floors can return to a slow deep litter process with pine shavings (with very little poop anyways, since they spend most days outside or up on the perches).

Much better.
I can't NOT clean the boards daily. Whoever thought you could get addicted to scooping poop.
 
I am a poop board fan. However, with temps in the single digits below zero and the wind chill nearing double digits below zero, there is less scooping this week and more chiseling! Frozen poop can be removed, although not as easily, with a sturdy metal spatula and a flat-head screwdriver.

Hurry up, Spring!!

Painter's tool and a hammer.

Yup! I put a few hooks on the wall, where I keep the metal paint scraper, chisel, hammer, and hand broom.
