Can fleas affect or infest birds or their cages?

i'm gonna bomb with flea stuff that worked 2 yrs. ago (i'll take the birds and their cages outside first) then use advantix on the dogs and cat
Answers:
Yes they can, the link below is from the Merick Vet Manual and considers flea problems associated with avian populations and recommends solutions.
Good Luck.

P.S. I would scratch the bomb plans. It is never good to use them when you have pets at any time! The lingering residue can and will kill your pets no matter how long you air it out, as well as house plants and fish. Tackle the problem where it is and remember there really isn't a silver bullet to solve this. Just take it one step at a time till you rid yourself of them.

that is a yes only if you dont clean the cage for a while and dont bath the bird..

yes they can. But it's not likely to if you worry about keeping the cages clean, and make sure the birds bathe every now and then.
Be careful with the flea stuff. Birds are extremely sensitive to poison and things like that

Mites yes, flea's no.
Birds lungs aren't like our's so any tad of toxic substance will kill your birds. The toxins will still be in carpets and fabric furniture, drapes, etc.etc. so is very risky for those birds.

Yes fleas can and do get to birds. Here is how you can rid your house while birds are still in it.
Go to the store, get some iodized salt. Pick up all pet water. Lay down salt in heavy layers on the floor. Whether you have carpet or hard wood floors. Let it down for 5 days. The salt dehydrates the fleas and the eggs. After 5 days vacumn it up. No harm is done to pets or plants or carpet or floors. Fleas are gone. You can bathe your dogs with flea products and no harm is done.
Good Luck!
