2. Which is better, poly, plain paper or wax coated?
There are two schools of thought and that is why we carry 3 types of paper. The 60lb paper product is a highly absorbent and many professionals feel it's better to have some absorption so that the birds feces and urine do not fully remain on the cage floor. Other professionals feel that nothing should be absorbed so that you can clearly see the characteristics of the urine and droppings to monitor any diseases, as they will remain on the poly coating and wax coating. The waxed paper is slightly less absorbent than the poly coated and is designed for smaller birds for smaller birds and is less expensive than the poly.
