Are Paper Pellets okay for bird bedding/litter?
I hate how paper towels and newspaper looks, so I was wondering if Yesterday's News paper litter pellets (they make them for small animals and cats) are okay for birds. If not, I have been using eco-bedding which I guess I will stick with since it looks nicer than newspapers or bags or a sheet of brown paper. It is okay right? I would just prefer pelleted paper but don't know if there is a reason no one carries ones for birds.

The reason that they don't sell it for birds is cuz they have glue in the pellets. And chances are that the birds will chew on them. If you have a grate at the bottom of the cage it is ok to use them but if you don't i wouldn't. Could cause a problem for your birds. Good Luck

If it was little rolled up pieces of paper, it should be fine as long as it has no harmful ingredients in it. Like Dee said, not many uses them because of glue or other harmful contents in it.
