PENN-PLAX Bird-Life Natural Wood Tree Perch for Small and Medium Birds – Includes Food and Water Bowls with Drop Tray – Medium

Product arrived in great condition and easy to assemble. Our Eclectus Parrot loves it!

I have just adopted an African gray to go with my other gray, Scarlet Macaw and Australian King parrot. I originally thought that this play stand would be a nice option for my Aussie. He has taught himself to climb off my knee and go elsewhere to poop. Then he climbs back. What consideration!However, the tree stand was much larger than I thought it would be. Not large enough for my macaw, but perfect for the grays.My new boy is from a sanctuary and has had a difficult life until then, so having the tree stand on the table in front of me gives him proximity as well as distance so he can settle down into being part of my forever flock.The tree stand has two treat cups, but I only use one so as not to block access to the top perch. I put a beaded ladder up and down the main base for my Aussie to be able to maneuver around the two lower perches, which worked when I tried it last night. (No two birds at the same time)The base is solid and I lined it with absorbent bird paper sheets for easy clean up. The branches and base were quick and easy to assemble, and the wood is good quality without dust, splinters or sharp hazards. The entire stand is sturdy and feels safe. Here's to a happy long life to my flock!

I love this perch! I bought it for my blue and gold macaw and it is a perfect size to move throughout the house for him to sit on and be present wherever we are. The bowls are tiny, but with how sturdy the perch is, I didn't let it impact my star rating.

The base would be better if it was just a bit larger to catch more mess from perched birds. It was a bit hard to screw the side perches on as well but I managed. Wood feels a bit cheep but it will do.

I purchased this small stand for my parakeets. It is absolutely perfect size, very easy to put together as predrilled holes. Treat cups just screw in also. So simple yet sturdy and not HEAVY but heavy enough. I may need to buy another or two for placement through out the room. And sturdy. It is all that it is advertised to be.

The first thing I noticed when unboxing this perch was the lack of an instruction manual. While assembly isn’t overly complicated, it did take some trial and error to figure out how everything fits together. The pieces are clearly labeled, but a simple guide would have saved time and frustration, especially for those who aren’t as handy.Another issue I encountered during assembly was the presence of small splinters on the wood. Handling the pieces required extra care to avoid getting splinters, particularly when tightening screws or gripping the perch firmly. Sanding down the rough edges helped, but it’s something that shouldn’t be necessary for a product marketed as ready-to-use.On the positive side, the perch itself is impressively large and sturdy. I tested it with my Amazon parrot, and it holds up well to his weight and activity. For medium-sized birds, the size is more than adequate, providing plenty of space to climb and perch comfortably. I even placed a Stanley Cup next to it for scale in the photos, and the perch’s bulkiness is evident.That said, I wouldn’t recommend this for larger birds like cockatoos or macaws. While the description suggests it’s suitable for big parrots, the design and spacing of the branches don’t seem robust enough to handle heavier, more active birds. It’s better suited for medium species or as a secondary perch rather than a primary one for large birds.The included food and water bowls are a nice touch, though they feel a bit flimsy compared to the perch itself. The drop tray is functional and makes cleanup easier, but the overall setup could benefit from more secure mounting options for the bowls to prevent spills.In the end, this perch is decent for the price, but it has some flaws that keep it from being great. The lack of instructions and unfinished wood edges are frustrating, but the sturdiness and size make it a viable option for medium birds. With a few improvements—like pre-sanded wood and clearer assembly guidance—it could easily earn a higher rating. For now, it’s a middle-of-the-road choice.

Mango my 30 year old Eclectus approves! Wow such great quality for the price. This is size Sm/Med I was looking for a perch I could move around my house easily. I went to a pet store and almost bought one for $170 but it was to bulky. This is exactly what I was looking for! It’s sturdy, real wood, and super easy to put together. I also use it as a high chair to feed Mango so he’s not dirtying up his cage. I place it in the sink and spray it down when he’s done. It came with two bowls but I only attached one.
