I have got some battery LED lights in the main loft which are pretty good if I do have to feed them late but I really don't get too hung up on cleaning them out every day. I'm happy with the deep litter on the floor, as Phil says the birds do quite like nesting in it, I clean all the perches and boxes once a week which works ok for me I do clean out more during spring and summer as I do enjoy it on a nice day but I get absolutely no pleasure from cleaning out on a nasty winters day
