Completely funny you said that! I told Joe we need to do one mounted flat to the side of the cage for a beak scratcher! Must be a macaw thing as it wasn't thought of before. ;)

Used to have a bird toy on a chain that was a piece of lava rock. Nerd loved that thing and would attack it and sharpen his beak on it. It was a LOT smaller then it started and we used it to hold his guillotine door open and he'd sit on top and work at it all day off and on.
Dobby has a yellow cement perch he loves to roost on when he's inside and it has kept his nails trimmed nicely so far.

Here's Rupert's perch! I've had this for a number of years.

I love that you can scrub them down well and keep them around for ages. They stay nice and cool, and I don't have to worry about it being in a splash zone.

He is always the perfect model. Such as sweet little guy.

I'm pretty sure his name is John but no. John sold the business to Danita years ago. :)

BOTR perches are now going to be made in the Nutz shop. As of today Joe has everything he needs to start running test pieces. We are strictly adhering to to the original design and manufacturing process so nothing about them is going to change. Except there is no option to upgrade to SS, the hardware is stainless steel whether you like it or not. :D
I know this is a long-shot, but if it's possible to make them with different attachments that would be awesome.

Screw-attached perches are a PITA for me, as I live alone and don't have someone I can easily round up to say, "hey, stand here and hold this in place while I tighten the screw." And, any place I'm putting a perch is well past the zone where I can hold it with one hand and attach the screw with another.

So, if were possible to create some perches that hook on, like the attachment for for water bowl holders, that would be awesome.

It's my thought that a simple bracket could be installed on the bolts to achieve this. While I completely understand the dilemma ( I have 62x62 walk in aviaries up against a wall on two sides ) I'm not sure exactly how it would work with this amount of weight. It's something that we could look into once we feel solid with the product line. If it's not something we would end up doing/selling I could recommend a bracket if I find one I felt safe with. :)

:rofl: Seconds before that, he was guarding the perch from me, and giving me the, "what on earth are you doing, woman?" look. Then he started strutting and barking, and that's when I managed a non-blurry photo.

Anyone caught up in the heatwave, these are a perfect cool down and hold cold or warm temperatures very well. Wash well and stick in the freezer over night. They will stay nice and cool through the day.

When its chilly, i run under very hot water at night and when it cools down and just warm to the touch, they will crowd on it and then return to their favourite sleep area.

Obviously, don't put a hot or freezing flagstone in their cage.

I actually have a mounted flat, I'll take a picture when I get home. Only Watson uses one when his beak area had pins.

Oh goodness don't go that crazy.

We got a few cut and bolted and today we get to attempt to break the bolts back out. :rofl:
I also have one that I'm giving to the hy's as I'm so curious how strong flagstone is!
