Feet tell the truth about the setup

If perches are the wrong size, texture, or placement, birds can develop sore spots and stress behaviors. A comfort-first setup uses variety: different diameters, materials, and “rest zones.”

Perch variety checklist

• Different diameters (exercise the feet)
• Different textures (not all smooth)
• Safe placement (avoid constant droppings on lower perches)

Nests and “cozy zones” (species-dependent)

Some birds benefit from safe nesting/roosting options, while others can become hormonal with nest-like spaces. Match choices to your species and behavior.
