Anyway, sometimes they are around the birds food, these ants never bother the birds. No stings or anything, but I do try to keep them away. Outside their cages, around the stand or table or whatever, you can put ant trps, but I have more luck with diatamatious earth. Good luck with yours. I have given some of ours names.
Diatamatious earth works great.
I wrote an article about it years ago for Cage Bird Magazine. The Dallas zoo has used it in their aviaries for years. I sprinkled it along the baseboards in the bird room and the ants were soon gone. Camicide also works extremely well. They are razor sharp, but so tiny, that they are not harmful to pets.
