The precut wax paper liners for cage bottoms (specifically for cages with a bottom that is larger than a single sheet of newspaper) are a major time saver. Folding, bending, and organizing several newspapers and then having stuff fall through between them is a major pain in the neck but having a sheet large enough to line the whole thing is wonderful. I'm ok with newspaper for Kili's cage but on Truman's big cage the wax liners really help.
I am a fan of corn-cob bedding myself. My cockatiel would find a way- SOMEHOW- to snatch up newspaper and shred it, and the thought of that ink all in his mouth freaked me out. The corn cob bedding he still plays with, but at least it won't make him sick.
Actually it will make him sick. There have been studies showing that corn cob and walnut beddings can cause impactions in the crop. Paper of some sort is the best way to go. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news.
