    Corner Perches

    Was thinking of getting a platform type perch for Joey since he leans really far forward in his sleep and sometimes falls off... Something like this or even a solid piece: I was just worried that having something like that in the corner would promote nesting behavior and was hoping for some...

    Homemade perches

    Hey! So I recently bought my budgies a natural cork perch which they are loving. I’m interested to try and make them myself as it seems far cheaper to buy the natural cork wood pieces themselves. Does anyone have any advice on how to add the fixtures to the wood and how to make sure it’s safe...

    Cockatiel being a bit weird about perching

    I'm completely brand new to this form (I've been lurking for a bit but I'm yet to make an intro post- I'll get round to it), so I'm not fully sure if this is better suited to go in Health or Toys & Cages, let me know if it should be moved! Onto the actual issue- my cockatiel is being a bit...

    Vet Wrap Question

    Hi, I've noticed that some people use vet wrap on their perches. My guy has bad feet so I have always provided him with rope perches. However I want to include some natural perches that he can grip. I have a few questions about the wrap. Is any brand of it okay or is there a certain...

    Driftwood: safe or not??

    Recently, I have been struggling to find good perches for my budgies since most of the ones I've found are mostly in the same shape. I want to get them better perches to better exercise their feet. I found some driftwood online in good shapes for my budgies, I can easily do some handwork and...

    perch recommendation?

    hi there! so right now, I'm still using the god awful dowel perches for Ellie, because they're the ones that came with her cage when I got her. the cage itself is great, I think its a decent size for an older bird that can't fly super well. Im wondering what perches would be good for her? her...

    Perches on drywall?

    So these perches are made for cages, but have you ever tried screwing them into the drywall instead? I have a bay window and I am thinking about possible ways to put some perches on the wall around the window. I thought I'd ask here first before poking holes in my wall. Another idea would be...

    Is basil a safe perch option?

    For much needed context; I have taken out a dead basil plant from my back yard and cut out the dried up roots, thinking I could save it for later as a perch. I already washed in my bathtub with boiling water and also want to use a mixture of distilled clear vinegar, water, and lemon juice as its...

    Hi everyone! I'm wondering if anyone has found a good bird-safe way to fill cracks in branches? I have some perfect natural perches for my Maxi pionus, but there are a few cracks from the drying process in just the right places to catch his little claws.

    Disabled parrot no perches??

    My rosella had bumblefoot surgery on his feet years ago and since then we've been battling blisters on his feet, I go up and down to the vet often and they can find no cause so I've been told "it's just something that's gonna happen because of the surgery". He's on long term anti inflammatorys...

    Is the remaining sawdust and dead insect in perches after baking harmful?

    So, I just went out a pickup some mapple branches to make natural perches. I had to get the bark of since some mapple's bark is toxic to birds. By doing so, I saw some tunnels filled with sawdust. I saw on line that by washing, soaking and then baking the branches will kill anything alive and...
