perches

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...

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...

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...

Hello! I was wondering if this was ok for our birdies, I know people on here tend to be wary of amazon when looking for things for birds, but this seems ok and has good reviews, any comments or concerns...

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...

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; so I got a medium prevue pet products playstand for a conure and the vast majority of the perches/poles are dowel perches which I know isn't very good for their feet compared to natural wood ones. Is there a way where I could sand it to make it more uneven/tree branch like or something to...

Hi what tree branches particularly found in south east asia are good for a breeding pair of greenwings?

I have a clothes rack that I'm not using, and I want to put it to good use for my birdies!! But I'm stuck on ideas of what exactly to do with it. It's the same as the one in the photo. I'm planning on wrapping vet tape around the top pole and hanging boings, swings, and a climbing net from the...

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.

So I really want to learn how to make bird perches and I found ALOT of good information, the tools you need, safe woods, safe metals ect. But I'm very confused on how to disenfect them, some websites say to use bleach(is there a risk to that? Bleach is very strong) some websites say to just bake...

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...

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...

I'm getting a new bird and I need some perches, I have a limited amount of money, and I need a place with good, varied perches that aren't too expensive. The perches are for a conure.

Hey guys, Just wondering where I can find natural wood perches, toys, foraging toys. I live in Singapore, can't find much avian shops here, the local pet store only has plastic toys and wooden dowels (Im looking for something which isn't perfect in shape like dowels). Is there any e commerce...

I would be getting the wood from a clean, freshwater river. I already talked with the local nature advisory and they gave me the green light to take a few pieces. I'm planning on cleaning it with some non-concentrated Dawn (what I use to clean his cage) and some F10 (veterinary antiviral and...

Hey guys! I hadn't realized I posted my question on a super old thread :hilarious: so... I am interested in getting a flagstone perch, or some sort of perch for my caiques to hack away at that is safe for them. There used to be a vendor here who sold flagstone perches made of dental cement but...

I got Skyler (Severe Macaw) when she was a baby and I was 15. Now she's 21 and still thriving! We're about to make the move from Virginia to Salt Lake City next week so I've been prepping her for her first plane ride. Any tips would be appreciated! I wrapped her perch in the plane approved...

Hey all! First time poster, long time reader here! So I wanted to build a “tree perch” for my little tiel (chip) and I got a branch big enough (olive, not yet disinfected but will be before I give him) and a bucket as a base. I need something to fill the bucket, to keep it sturdy. I wanted to...

This sounds stupid, but I was wondering if it’s possible to use a grill to bake wood for disenfecting? I just finished using a bleach/water mix to disinfect some branches but I wanted to do some more and bake it. Do I have to bake it? And if so can I use a grill, or will that just grill the wood?
