Perches

Birds stand on their feet every waking moment, so perch variety matters for foot health. Smooth dowels all of one size can cause sore spots and bumblefoot. We compare natural wood, rope, mineral, heated, and play-stand perches, with notes on diameter for each species and the materials that are safe to chew.
