JW Sand Bird Perch

The tapered shape was the selling point for me since my conure has trouble gripping uniform dowels, and she took to this one on day one. The sand texture seems to help keep her nails from getting too sharp, too.

My cockatiel actually sleeps on this thing now, which she never did with her old wooden dowel. The sand texture gives her grip without being rough on her feet, and clipping it to the side bars took seconds.

The tapered shape makes it easy for my cockatiel to grip, and the wider base lets her perch comfortably without sliding. I clipped it in near her food bowl and she’s been using it constantly. It’s held up well even with her nibbling on it.
