Which Parrot Perch Is Best?
The traditional smooth, round, uniform parrot perch is not the best choice for your pet. The reason for this is that it doesn’t replicate what a parrot perches on in the wild – how often have you seen a tree with perfectly round and smooth branches?
You probably don’t realise it, but having perches of various sizes and textures contributes greatly to the health of your pet. The two main benefits are:
1) Constantly having to re-adjust his feet to remain balanced will stimulate and strengthen your parrots’ leg muscles, and keep his feet healthy.
2) The rough textures will naturally keep his beak and claws trimmed.
For the greatest health benefits, put parrot perches of different sizes and textures in your parrot’s cage. I bet you didn’t realise just how important choosing the right type or parrot perch is!
