Hello, Recently i had a parakeet that passed away, and i was thinking of getting another one. however i believe that my parakeet passed away due to illness, i discovered this when i was looking in his cage after and had noticed alot of regurgitated seeds on the floor of the cage. so here is my question, should i wait a while before i get another bird to allow any viruses to die? i will clean out the cage and everything in it with a 50/50 bleach and water mix, then leave it in the sun for a few days. besides the cage, i always had my bird out in my room, it is safe to say that everything i have has been touched by him, and i rather not have to disinfect all my belongings. so what should i do? is it best to wait for everything to die? if so, how long do i wait? any help would be greatly appreciated. thank you
