Is there such a thing as an edible perch? I have had birds for over 20 years and I just heard something about this?

Yes, edible perches do exist, although they are fairly new. They are exactly what the name suggests - perches that your bird can chew and eat. They are a good way for your bird to obtain valuable nutrients into their diets.

Here a few examples of good quality edible bird perches:

What kind of perch should my budgie sleep on?

As long as you provide a variety of perches in your bird's cage, the choice of which to use for sleeping is up to your bird. Your bird most likely knows, instinctively, where they want to sleep. The only type of perch I would recommend not allowing your bird to sleep on is a sandpaper perch. My personal favorite perch style for sleeping is a Booda perch.

Why don't birds fall off their perches while they sleep?

Birds have tendons on their feet, called flexor tendons, which respond well to pressure. This allows them to sleep comfortably on a perch without the worry of falling off. These tendons run down the back of a birds leg all the way to the tips of their toes. As the bird lands on a perch, the tendons pull on the toes and close them tightly.

I have been hearing mixed reviews about sandpaper bird perches. Are they good or bad for birds?

From what I have learned, sandpaper perches can damage your bird's feet, causing a condition known as "bumblefoot". They tend to be too abrasive. I would recommend buying a cement perch instead.

What is a heated bird perch?

Heated perches are great for providing your bird with great circulation for their feet. They are highly recommended for exotic birds. Most heated perches are controlled using a thermostat and are most commonly made from a scratch and bite resistant non-toxic plastic.


Here are some examples of good quality heated bird perches:

What is a grooming perch?

This is a type of perch for your bird cage that allows for some self-grooming. It is a great way to trim down your bird's nails. They often come in great space-saving styles such as corner perches and half sizes. Look into concrete-blended perches. In my opinion they are the best type of grooming perches. Here are a few examples -

Does perch size matter?

Yes. It is a good idea to get your bird a variety of perch sizes. Smaller perches allow for a better grip resulting in increased exercise, while larger perches will help trim your bird's nails and beaks.

What are Manzanita bird perches?

Manzanita perches are natural wood perches. I would highly recommend this type of bird perch. The uneven surfaces of the Manzanita perch mimic your bird's natural environment. They are also great for building strong feet and leg muscles.

Here are a few sites to look at in regards to Manzanita perches.

I just saw that there are heated bird perches for sale, do you think its safe?

I never came across such a thing but it sounds a little over the top... Birds in the wild do not sit next to the fire or have heating devices... I would get a regular perch.
