1. Is this safe for my bird to chew on?
Yes, absolutely. The trunk and branches are made from 100% natural, deep-desalinated, and kiln-dried driftwood—completely free of bark, paint, and chemical coatings, making it 100% safe for chewing and perching. The artificial pine foliage at the top is purely decorative; we recommend supervising birds who are highly active chewers to ensure they don’t bite the foliage.
2. How do I install this perch? Can it be mounted?
Yes! It is incredibly versatile. Every bonsai perch comes with premium, high-strength stainless steel clasps. You can easily and securely mount it to the top of your bird cage in seconds—no tools required. Alternatively, its sturdy base allows it to be used as a freestanding tabletop play stand or placed directly on the cage floor.
3. What size cage does this fit?
This driftwood bough measures approximately 30–35cm (12–14") in height and 30–35cm (12–14") in length. Because every single piece is hand-selected and naturally shaped by nature, exact shapes and dimensions will vary slightly, making yours truly one-of-a-kind. It fits beautifully inside medium-to-large cages, aviaries, or on top of cages as an extra play area. We highly recommend measuring your cage's interior space before ordering.
4. Which bird species is this best suited for?
This perch is perfect for small to medium-sized birds, especially Cockatiels (玄风), Green-cheeked Conures (小太阳), Monk Parakeets (和尚), Budgies (虎皮), and similar species. It provides excellent foot exercise. If you have a larger parrot (like a Macaw, African Grey, or Amazon), please contact us before purchasing, and we’ll help select a thicker, more heavy-duty piece for you.
5. Is the wood smooth enough for my bird’s feet?
Yes, comfort is our priority. Every branch is hand-sanded to a smooth finish while preserving the natural, irregular wood curves. This unique texture mimics a wild environment, helping to naturally wear down your bird's nails and prevent foot cramping (bumblefoot) without irritating their sensitive footpads.
6. How should I clean and maintain it?
Cleaning is simple! Just wipe the wood parts with a damp cloth or a bird-safe brush as needed. Avoid soaking the wood in water for long periods or using harsh chemical cleaners, as this can damage the natural fibers. For the artificial foliage, a gentle dusting with a dry or slightly damp cloth is all it takes to keep it looking fresh and vibrant.
