Very nice. You probably don't even need to sand the perches down at all. Might be better for their feet if they are a bit rougher and easier to grip, depending on how big the bird is vs the perch.
@Positive_Energy727 2 жыл бұрын
I appreciate it and appreciate the comment. The reason that I decided to sand the branches was to get rid of any possible bacteria and or bugs that might of been living on the branches. I again appreciate you and hope you have an awesome day

realy nice! but you dont realy need to peel of the skin of the branch, the parrots will do that them selves!! its fun and entertaining for them, besides sanding down all the irregularities and making it sooth and soft makes the paw always being on the same surface, they need to have ruff material like the skin of the branch.
