Be sure the "dirt" isn't mold. Some molds are quite toxic to birds. If there is any possibility that it's mold I would either replace it or clean it out with bleach and then be sure you rinse the bleach out very well.

Greetings: How do you get the "dirt" out of the bottom of the feerer? Tooth brush can't possibly reach it all. Black "dirt" does not all come out with a tooth prush. Is there some solution that helps remove the black spots. Rev. Forest V.
