Parrot Perches

You need several parrot perches of varying sizes for the enjoyment of your pet bird. These perches should be placed at different heights within your parrot's cage and in their bird carrier. The various heights will encourage your pet to use his wings to reach the perches, which helps strengthen and tone muscle. Differing diameters for the perches will help increase the grip strength in your bird's feet, as well as prevent arthritis.

Besides their exercise value, perches are a necessary part of a bird's lifestyle. Birds aren't happy if they don't have a place to sit. They don't curl up on the floor or on pillows like many other animals do. Birds need to be able to go up high and observe the world from their own personal roost in order to be happy. A parrot without a perch is like a king without a throne--it's unthinkable.

Parrot Perches for Your Pet's Cage

Since parrots are such large birds, you'll need to get wide perches to accommodate yours. If the diameter of your parrot's perch is too small, he won't be able to grip it or balance on it properly, and the whole experience will end up being uncomfortable for him. Be sure to choose smooth perches made from supple materials such as plastic and wood. Concrete perches are too hard on your bird's feet.
