Bird-Life presents the 12” Calcium Bird Perch by PENN-PLAX.
These 12” perches provide a textured, safe, and secure place
for your feathery friend to stand, rest, play, or sing a song.
This 12” bird perch is suitable for Cockatoos, Amazons,
African Greys, Macaws, and other large parrots and birds.
Fortified with Calcium:
In addition to naturally trimming your pet’s nails and beak,
our bird perches add beneficial calcium to their everyday activities.
It’s okay for your pet to gnaw at the perch;
they’re getting calcium, similar to pecking at a cuttlebone.
Easy Mounting:
Our Calcium Bird Perches attach to virtually any birdcage in a matter of seconds
with a set of 2” metal washers, a metal wingnut, and a permanent screw at the end.
Tapered Design:
The variable diameter of our Calcium Bird Perches ensures that your bird will be able
to stand comfortably without putting too much stress on their foot muscles.
The heavily textured, non-slip surface keeps your bird safe, and on sure footing.
Measurements:
Perch Length = 12”
Diameter at the End = 2”
Washer Diameter = 2”

Too bad it broke In the package. I’m still going to use it. It’s a calcium perch so it’s delicate but still..

It was easy to install but none of the Amazons would go get on them. I wish they came in smaller sized.

I have purchased three this year. They last, and are a good quality. It took several months, but my two conures utilized it enough that I had to purchase another. It’s their favorite perch. When I got my new Indian Ringneck, this was the first purchase I made for him, (other than the necessary cage and food).

All birds need a variety of textured perches and widths. The need it for proper muscle development. Worth the price you pay.

This perch is great for my Galah's health and at this price is a bargain. I ordered three more after I saw the first perch.

I decided to buy a variety of these for my cockatiel. The mini and small are perfect, the 12 inch gives him a place where he can rest his feet (it's oblong in shape so depending on the way I hang it, it's either a wide flat surface or another perch). At the widest, his feet get to rest, but his toes and nails do curl over the edge so I think it works out well.**** Update **** the colour washes off, not a fan of the dye. Also, the xlarge is too big for a cockatiel - he uses it a lot but whether I have the perch on its slender side or on its widest side, poop gets all over it. Small is perfect though.

I purchased this for my rescue Cockatoo. She has longer nails and I wanted something to help wear them down in addition to nail trims. This perch is very heavy and sturdy. I got her the large size and it is bigger than expected. Seems very well made and will hopefully last awhile. The only complain I have is that I received a pink one and the color comes off on her feet. Not a big deal, but annoying to have pink getting on everything.

> MY PREVIOUS EXPERIENCE WITH “CEMENT” PERCHES – Both of my birds (an Amazon and a Senegal) refused to perch on other brands of “cement” perches that I’ve bought in the past, which were composed of hard granules. But, they would file their beaks on the perches.> SURPRISE – Both of my birds voluntarily perch on their Penn Plax Calcium Perches. Feeling the surface, I understand why – it is smooth and “soft” – and obviously comfortable to bare birdy feet. Maybe even pleasantly cool on hot summer days.> In addition to being smooth, grooves in the surface provide secure grips, even for relatively small birds (such as my Senegal).> The large size is 12" long (plus about 1" for the stud). It is oval in cross section, about 1½" by 2". Hypothetically, that is way too large for either of my birds. (Note that perches the optimal diameters for my birds would be too short for them to turn around). But both birds like the big perches, and they do have wooden perches in various smaller sizes they can choose, if they get tired of the large perches.CONS> I can’t imagine an uglier bird perch (the 12" is violet)–but at the price I paid ($4 each, {2 for $8}) it is also very inexpensive.> I haven't noticed my birds filing their beaks on the perches (although they may), and even after a year their toenails are still sharp.> Being such an intense and unnatural color, the purple perch is sure to terrify any bird. The secret to introducing such a perch (or most toys for that matter) is to introduce it slowly. First set it on a table nearby for a day or two, then move it closer for a day or so, Then move it inside the cage but as far from your bird as possible (or attached it to the outside of the cage). Then you can move it where you want it.> The wingnut and stud are very small for a perch this large, which means it is difficult to torque it down tight enough.> On my cages, the 12" perch is so long and heavy that it sways and wobbles like crazy at the slightest touch, even with the wing nut as tight as I can get it. I can only stabilize the perch by setting the end on a cross perch that goes from wall to wall.How about those perches which look like cactus branches? They are prettier, and may hypothetically provide a wider range of foot "grips", but they are composed of large sharp sand particles which must be heck on birdy feet. One was a good "chew toy" for my Amazon. It took him a year to discover that it was chewable, and about a week to destroy after he made the discovery. As far as I can tell, my Senegal never went near his.> Click on “Stoney” just below the product title to see my other reviews, or leave a comment to ask a question.
