Bob has 5 perches. His two favorites are the natural perches. One is right in front of his seed bowl and one is in the center of the top of his cage. He spends most of his waking cage time on the one in front of his seed bowl and sleeps on the one at the top.
There are three dowl perches. One is integral to the cage and cannot be easily replaced with a natural, it is also in an aquward part of the cage and so Bob spends little time there. One is next to the high natural perch and Bob seems to just use it to come down or go up to the natural one. The final dowl stretches the lengh of his cage. It goes under his sleeping perch and today I noticed that it has built up a bit of bird dooty at the point where it is under the sleeping perch. There are also a couple of other smaller spots of poo on it. I am not going to bother cleaning the dowl, I am going to throw it away before Bob goes into his cage again. I am taking Bob back to the store I got him at today to get his nails done and while there I will get two natural perches to replace the long one, hopefully I can get them to offer a small gap under the sleeping perch. I expect these to occasionally get poo'd on and would like suggestions of how to clean them that are safe for the perches and for Bob.
I would also like to put a natural perch by Bob's pellet dish. It would need to be somewhat "T" shaped and attach to the bottom of his cage; do they make these?
