Made from sustainable bamboo, this refillable perch allows birds to search for treats and nesting materials while providing a comfortable, varying-diameter perch for foot health.

Key Features & Benefits

• Promotes Natural Behaviors: Encourages instinctive foraging and investigation
• Variable Diameter: Tapered shape (1/2" to 1") provides excellent foot exercise
• Mental Stimulation: Searching for hidden treats keeps birds engaged and prevents boredom
• Refillable Design: Use repeatedly with different fillings for ongoing enrichment
• Durable Construction: Hardy bamboo withstands chewing and daily use
• Natural Aesthetic: Attractive natural wood appearance

How to Use

Attach perch to cage using the included hardware or zip ties. Before installing, fill the hollow center with your bird's favorite treats (millet, seeds, dried fruit), nesting materials (paper strips, coconut fiber), or foraging materials. Birds will work to extract the contents through the openings. Refill as needed to maintain interest. Can also be used as a standard perch without filling for foot exercise benefits. Clean and refill weekly for ongoing enrichment.

Size

6" length for small birds; 9" length for medium birds

Care & Maintenance

Remove from cage and empty any remaining contents. Wash with warm water and mild soap. Allow to dry completely before refilling and reinstalling. Inspect regularly for excessive wear, splintering, or damage. Replace if bamboo becomes significantly damaged. Natural bamboo color may darken with age, which is normal.

Notes

Foraging is a critical natural behavior for birds—in the wild, they spend much of their day searching for food. Captive birds benefit greatly from foraging opportunities that provide mental stimulation and prevent boredom-related behaviors like feather plucking and screaming. The variable diameter is important for foot health, as it exercises different foot muscles compared to uniform-diameter perches. Bamboo is harder than most woods, providing good durability even for chewing species. The natural appearance is more attractive than plastic perches.
