Great comfort!
Perfect perch for our birds. Helps them move around comfortably!

The bird uses all of these!
Soft surface for bird feet, yet strong enough to hold the shape you give it and to hold the bird’s weight. Flexible enough to make it fit the cage, so he can climb or perch at will. I just wash these off as part of cage cleaning, and let dry.

It’s nice and strong, just a hair thinner in diameter than the ones from the chain pet stores.
As you see the perch is very nice, well-made and long. I believe it’s 24 inches, it’s just a little bit thinner than the ones that you buy from the pet store but they’re well made it appears would be a good buy. It has been in her cage a good 3 months. No issuesð

Good for the price
I noticed it frays easily just from the budgies using it frequently (they don’t chew it). Overall it’s good I haven’t had any issues with a wire popping out like most people have said.

Perfect for my parrots
These are perfect to mount on the cage doors so it is easier to put them in and out of the cage.

Know your birds
Rope perches are known as unsafe in the bird owner world because if a bird chews on them and ingests the fibers, it can cause a crop impaction, which can be fatal or result in an expensive surgery. I would never buy a rope perch for my caique because he is an avid chewer and he especially loves to chew on soft things. Iâve never seen him try to swallow anything he chews on, but it would only take one time. My parakeets, however, are not strong chewers and are happy to chew on their toys and cuttlebone and leave their perches alone. Both parakeets are disabledâone has a badly splayed leg that sticks way out to the side, and the other has use of both legs but only one foot. They both seem to prefer this perch over all of their other ones, and they have quite a variety. They both only have one good leg to stand on, so their good legs get twice the amount of use and stress as they normally would. This perch is soft and easy for them to grip. I also love that itâs poseableâI have one of these bent into a W shape attached to the front door of their cage. This is where they now spend most of their time. The one with the splayed leg can grip it with his good leg and rest his other leg on it. If you have a bird that isnât a strong chewer, but youâre still worried about them ingesting the fibers, you can wrap it in vet wrap (also known as coban for humans). You need to know your bird thoughâeven vet wrap wouldnât be enough to keep my caique safe with this perch.

My bird loved it!
I have a Timneh African Grey and she loved this perch so much that she tore it apart in a few days. It kept her entertained for quite a while and that was the whole purpose of getting one of these. She tore apart the previous perches that I’ve purchased that were like this and she had a blast.
Used this on my German Shepherd, worked great removing dead hair; but after 3rd use the plastic covering on handle came off making it impossible to use. –
Ok for smaller birds
Purchased for Indian Ringneck parrot cage. Is in a U shape as shown and easily screwed two ends onto cage but the part that extends out was too flimsy for my bird; he wouldnât use it.

Fantastic value for your money, I will probably buy a couple more. I use the one I bought as a perch for outside of her cage. She loves flying back and forth from the outside to inside of her cage. Easy to attach to her cage, a little bigger than I expected (which is great). Highly recommend for birds that won’t chew it to pieces (not sure if it is 100% cotton). My little one will not, so I not too worried either way. ð¤

Penn Plax corded perches always outlast the other brands. They wash better than one would expect since they are material product in a cage with poopy pets. They stand up to medium nibbles and the locking mechanisms fit all cage types.
