5 Pet Items that Waste Money

A big waste for birds is "bath spray." Yes, birds need baths, but plain water is so much better than the sprays with all their added chemicals. Some birds have skin issues that benefit from an occasional mist of aloe and water, and aloe and water sprays cost around $10. It's so much cheaper to buy a $3 bottle of aloe (just make sure it's pure aloe without any extra stuff added in) and add a spoonful to your bird's normal bath water.
