Medium in size (approx. 5 1/2"w x 3 1/2"d) and recommended for birds up to Conure size. Can also be used for other small pets: hamsters, gerbils, etc. The platform or shelf perch, allows birds to comfortably sit and roost properly, by giving the feet the ability to relax. The flat surface also gives an orthopedic quality, having the foot extended and not gripping all the time. The smooth surface (as opposed to concrete and sand paper/rough surfaces) helps prevent pressure sores from developing when only using round perches. Wonderful for handicap birds, young birds and issues with balance. Great for a sleeping perch, place to relax, eat or play. Also a nice addition for perches added to the outside of the cage or cage door for birds with open time. As useful and necessary as the platform perch may be, we couldn't overlook the CUTE factor when creating them, and had to keep in the Parrots Treasure way of design. Many customers love the fact that their birds will chew on their platform (making it their own), a natural behavior in the wild, where they would perch. Enjoyed on many levels, affordable and easily replaced.

My green cheeked conure love it.
My GCC love to stand and bite a side too.

Good stuff!
I have this hanging outside of my budgies cage. They were uninterested in it at first, but after a few weeks warmed up to it and now they love to lounge on it and stretch their feet. Also, I love that it is made in the U.S.A and does not use any harmful dyes. I wish you offered more of a selection for smaller birds.

Parrot Crowd Pleaser for Normally Picky Parrots
My parrots are oblivious to bird toys except for the products created by this small family-owned business. I'm not sure why this is. A bird rescue organization recommended this company to me. Their foot toys are a crowd pleaser and I was surprised by how much the parrots enjoy the wood perches too. I can only speak to Amazon parrots liking the perches and toys - I can't say whether other breeds will respond equally as well. It's surely worth it to try to see if your bird friends like these products as well as my bird friends do. Definitely worth the money!
