A practical checklist
- Keep birds safely away from the robot and its route.
- Remove wet waste and unsuitable debris manually.
- Use a short supervised dry clean around the cage base if the model's instructions permit.

Protect the pet and the cleaning route
| Check | What matters |
|---|---|
| Before cleaning | Remove spills, waste and loose toys. |
| During cleaning | Keep animals away from moving brushes and stressful noise. |
| After cleaning | Inspect hair collection and the dock path. |
A mistake to avoid
Do not use the robot inside a cage or where a bird can approach its moving brush.
