Is it safe to make a perch from a tree branch for my budgie so he has a natural wood perch?
I want to give him a variety of perches. He has shop bought wood ones and a cotton rope perch already. I thought a natural wood one would be a good addition. Is wood from any tree safe to use?
Not all tree branches can be used, some are toxic and will kill your bird, you also need to make sure that they have not been sprayed with fertilisers or pesticides.
Fruit trees are safe to use.
You can also use Sycamore and Elder branches, just clean the branches first in case they have been pooed on by wild birds.
Dowel perches from the pet shop are uniform in shape and are not good for your birds feed, you need to offer a variety of different shaped and textured perches.
Concrete are a good choice as they help to keep nails and beak trimmed, my African Grey uses his to clean his beak after eating his fruit. Although they do need other perches, as using concrete ones permanently can irritate their feet.
I also have a mineral perch that he can stand on but also eat.
The cotton rope ones are also good as they are texture and not smooth.
The plastic tube ones need to be avoided as they can harbour bugs inside, and are not healthy for the feet.
Just provide a few different types of perch and your bird should have healthy feet.
