I thought it was okay to use pine litter once… and then I had to take my bird to the vet for a respiratory infection, even though I changed it often. Pine bedding has fumes and is a breeding ground for bacteria. Even if your cage has a grate, your bird is still in danger of infection and other breathing problems.
You can use newspaper, CareFresh, paper towels, and there are various bird litters you can use as well. Do NOT use pine!
