Product Information

Unique TextureWith a unique treelike texture design, Heated Perch for Birds is nonslip and wearresistant, standing comfortably and reducing pressure. After reading some online reports of birds falling off the perch I was worried that my little budgies could not get a grip but that has not been a problem.

We touched on this a little earlier, but the way in which it is irregularly shaped makes it nice and comfy for feet of birds.

I saw your thoughtful review on our thermo perch, thank you - to overcome the slippery surface simply take some light sandpaper and rub it over the perch - even a nail file will do over time the birds nails will scratch it up giving your bird even better footing. Providing your bird warmth is the first step in making them feel well and healthy, say avian experts and vets. Overall the thermo perch does what it's designed to do and I would recommend it to any fellow bird owners.
