Bird Perches in Nepal
A cage supplied with a single dowel perch of uniform width is how birds develop foot problems. Variety in diameter and texture is what keeps feet healthy. Miscava stocks natural wood, rope, platform and mineral perches.
- Vary the diameter: Different widths work different parts of the foot; uniform dowels cause pressure sores.
- Natural branches: Irregular wood is better for feet and gets chewed, which is exactly what you want.
- Sandpaper perches out: Abrasive covers rub feet raw. Use a mineral perch in one spot instead, not everywhere.
Frequently Asked Questions about Bird Perches
Do perches help keep nails trimmed?
A mineral or concrete perch placed where the bird sits regularly helps blunt the tips, but it will not replace trimming altogether. Never make it the highest or most used perch, since constant abrasion damages the feet.
