Hi all, we just posted a new blog post on our site about Java Perches, so we decided to include it here too. Hope its informative!
Birds of all kinds enjoy having natural surroundings, even when they live inside your home. A bird's perch is very important for birds in captivity, as they will spend most of their time "perched" somewhere, as they usually will not be flying around your house. To enhance your birds natural surroundings, an excellent addition to your bird's cage is a Java Tree Perch. These former coffee trees make beautiful accessories for the home, as well as creating a perfect, comfortable area for your bird to sit and climb on. A Java Wood Tree Perch is a beautiful combination of art and nature. These are well known for being the best quality bird perches in the world. They are known for being sturdy, yet comfortable with ample space between the branches to allow birds to play and flap their wings.
These all natural wood perches are made from the Java coffee trees in Indonesia that are no longer used to produce coffee. When the Java tree reaches the age of 25 to 35 years, they become non- productive for growing and producing coffee. The trees are then hand selected to create the Java Wood Bird Stands you see sold today, as well as other bird toys. The trees are hand picked as only certain trees are considered suitable to be used for bird perches.
After the trees are selected, they have to go through a special hand-crafted process before they are sold as Play Stands/Perches. The natural, rough branches are first stripped of their bark, then they are cleaned, hand shaped and dried into the desired dimensions. The dried branches are then hand sanded and the ends are smoothed off. Stainless steel rods and tubing are inserted into the trunk and crown to secure the trees to a sturdy base. There are many different sizes and branch diameters available, depending on the size and type of bird to meet their individual needs and provide them with a safe and natural environment. These natural perches are ideal for your bird to climb and chew on, as this wood is the exceptionally strong and made to last.
Benefits of using Java Tree Perches:
Veterinarians recommend that your bird gets plenty of stimulating interaction from environment. A Java Tree can help your bird get the exercise they need to stay healthy and keep their mind engaged as well. In the wild, parrots and other birds spend as much as 50-70% of their day foraging for food. This may involve choosing their favorite items, looking for available food sources, then using their beaks and feet to manipulate the food to better eat it.
The Java Tree, with it multiple branches, makes a perfect place to attach small containers to hide food, toys and treats in different locations to provide your bird with the enrichment it needs to stay active and prevent boredom.
Think of the perch as furniture for your bird. The Java Wood Bird Stand is natural like your bird would have in the wild, no sharp edges, splinters, or harmful material to injure your bird. A bird naturally eats, plays and sleeps on a tree branch in the wild environment, so its not difficult to use the Java Perch to enhance your bird's everyday activities. You can easily attach numerous toys, ropes, hanging mirrors, and treat items to the branches to provide hours of fun for your bird.
A Java Tree Play Stand is a perfect companion and an essential item for the serious bird or parrot owner. With the unique shapes, sizes and styles available, you are sure to find something to fit the needs of your feathered friend. Search Here for great Java Tree Play Stands.
