I take it you are refering to feathered fancy breeds!

If your birds are breaking foot feathers on wire or the loft wall etc then you need to keep them quieter, they must be wild!

if your birds are calm they should just sit on there perches which will illiminate damage, also give them poles to perch on.

make sure all perches and boxes have ample room more common sence than out else as for been on floor try fullers earth cat litter

as said above poles need to be used for perching.

Basically wooden battens mate attached at either side of loft staggered if u get me

make sure the battens are big enough otherwise you can get dents in the keels when the birds roost on them.

The judge at our county fair always suggests using deep wood shavings on the floor, and "wide" perches, so their feet aren't clenched so tightly that the deathers are damaged.
