Some perches may have moss & lichen on them, this is harmless to your bird and as quoted by Peter Wilson (Avian Vet) "They just provide extra nutritional and occupational enrichment." To read the full article on Perching Click here.
All perches are cleaned with Avi Care and then dried, so they can be used straight away. Sometimes you still may encounter bugs on the timber, as it is a natural product and they are sometimes living inside the timber. These bugs are harmless to your birds, but if you are concerned then just put the perches in the freezer overnight.
Perch Placement Ideas:
- Adjustable perches can be added to anywhere in your parrots cage.
- You can position them in a ladder formation
- Can be placed near food dishes for easy removal and cleaning.
- Place one up high in the cage so your parrot has a high place to roost at night.
