Bring the outdoors inside with this natural wood perch, designed to provide your parrot with a shape and texture that mimics tree branches. Made from 100% natural pine, its varying diameters encourage healthy foot exercise as your bird moves and climbs, helping to reduce cage stress and promote activity.

This perch’s curved design ensures not only comfort but also encourages your parrot to explore multiple positions while resting, eating, or socialising. Crafted from durable pine wood, it will withstand normal wear, and its natural splitting is a sign of wood hardness rather than a defect. Installation is straightforward with a secure screw-on fitting that easily attaches to any birdcage without the need for extra tools.

Perfect for adding an engaging climbing and resting spot in your parrot’s environment, this perch also allows you to wedge treats for entertainment. Make sure your bird has a variety of chewable materials alongside this perch to keep it happy and healthy.

However, there are some considerations for prospective buyers. Some experienced parrot owners and avian veterinarians note that the perch may not be truly ‘large’ enough for bigger species like African Greys, whose feet require broader surfaces to avoid discomfort. This discrepancy could lead to sore feet if the perch is too narrow. Additionally, the natural splitting of the wood, while an indicator of its hardness, may be perceived as a drawback by some, although it does not affect the safety or usefulness for the bird.

The perch’s polished finish was also mentioned by some users as being too smooth, making it feel less natural and more industrial, which could reduce the tactile stimulation that raw wood would provide. Overall, it is a functional and comfortable perch for small to medium parrots but may fall short for larger birds or those needing a more rugged texture for chewing and grip.
