DIY HOMEMADE BIRD PERCH | PARROT SAFE MATERIALS
Рет қаралды 8,487
2 жыл бұрынMany bird and parrot owners are unaware of the risks associated with items like acidic wood, cotton and metal toxicity that are used to make bird/parrot toys and play areas/perches. My husband and I felt we were limited when it came to the available options so we made our own perches and play areas! This has allowed flexibility for us to make things that fit the spaces of our home and our Birds have been happier for it!

I know this is old but the solution is contact paper! Linoleum will keep moisture under is as well

I can’t understand how your suns don’t mess with your glasses. I can’t wear my glasses or any jewelry around mine.
@bestflockingfriends 2 жыл бұрын
They will pick at my jewelry so I can’t wear any, but I’ve been consistent not letting them touch my glasses. They ruined a pair I had with rhinestones down the side and that was the end of that 🤣

Manzanita wood is usually what is found in the pet stores. Very durable, not so easy to chew right through for my blue and gold macaws, Anna my little goffin cockatoo

would have subscribed but your title is misleading. You talk about all the DIY your husband did but didnt mention what trees or branches to use

Hi, i live in australia and the bird i have is native here. I use a native tree that is in the wild where it lives, is that okay to use?
@bestflockingfriends 2 жыл бұрын
I would check locally with your wildlife center, if you can’t find it on a safe list! That’s so cool what kind of bird?

Why does cookie wave her head like that as if she is calling someone over? My 8 year old macaw does the same thing and I don’t know why, but my other macaw doesn’t do it

This sounds great in theory but birds chew on these surfaces and walk on it and chemicals like that can be toxic!
