PENN-PLAX Bird-Life Natural Wood Tree Perch for Large Birds and Parrots – Includes Food and Water Bowls and Drop Tray – Large

Great purchase. The Natural wood provides good texture and is wide enough that it doesn't hurt my Green Cheeks Feet. She loves to sit on top. The dishes are easily removable and washable. The whole product assembles nicely. However, you will need to put down newspaper for the bottom because the wood is natural - poop is unforgiving when it hits. This is a great buy for green cheeks and cockatiels. My parakeet even has fun chewing on it.*** IN SUMMARY ****Size: Great for Green Cheeks, Cockatiels and Love Birds. My parakeets are OK sitting on it but struggle to go up and down if their wings are clippedWood: Natural, good size for feet as it exercises them. This is much better than the standard round perches you would find in the pet store.Cleaning: So-so, this is because the wood is natural. There is always a trade off- in this case it's if you don't put paper down on the bottom. You can easily cut or fold newspaper/magazines to save yourself the hassle of attempting to clean off poo- and let me tell you- it's not fun. The poo sticks to the natural wood like glue- as you'd think it would. But honestly this is such a small price to pay and easily avoidable.Assembly: Extremely easy, my grandparents can even take it apart and put it back together. It is SO simple you don't need instructions. This is the best part- you can easily take it apart and transport it. That in itself is so valuable. Many of the stands I've encountered are hard to disassemble however this perch has been a winner. I can take it apart super quickly (within 5m) and put it in a bag to take to different places! Very easy and light.Weight: Great weight- not too heavy but very steady.10-10 would recommend.

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.

Love the design, great quality, sturdy, appealing. Don’t think I’ll be using the bowls because it’s a bit crowded up top, maybe just use one. Unfortunately, mine was a bit too stained (I love the stain detail though) and it was getting on my hands/birds feet so I rinsed some of it off and let it dry. The odor wasn’t too bad like some other reviews said, just clean it prior to use.Star deduction: Arrived with the base split down the middle. The wood stain was a bit too much. It would be nice if there was another size in between the two currently available.

I liked that this perch was very easy to put together and very lightweight. I prefer the look of wood to plastic, and this is one of the more attractive perches I've found at such a great price. It's also very durable. After months of daily use and being chewed on by multiple birds, it's held up well.It's the perfect size for my Green Cheek Conure (79g). My Senegal and Sun Conure also enjoy it (they are about the same size, around 116g), but it's a little small for my Indian Ringneck to get around on (119g with a large, long body). I often remove one of the bowls to create more room on the top perch.I bought it for when we travel with our birds, to give them something besides their cages to hang out on. I ended up using it daily, since my birds loved it. I actually had to purchase another one for them to share. I'd like it even better if the bowls could be moved to the ends of the perch, but as it is, it's very functional and suits my (and my birds') needs perfectly. I highly recommend it, and would even consider buying another.
