Perch Recommendations?

[rosiepaco]

Hi gang, my IRN parrot Rosie has Bumblefoot again
We’ve successfully treated it before so that’s not the problem but I definitely think I need to get better perches for her!

I’d really appreciate some recommendations. She likes to sleep on her rope swing so I’d appreciate some rope perch recommendations too that are suitable for this size of parrot.

Thank you!

I think my best recommendation is natural perches, they're bumpy and so they prevent bumblefoot.
You can also make handmade ones you can pick some branches but you have to make sure they're from this list

Pine	52-53	Relatively softer wood, especially when cut across the grain. Makes great medium sized bird toys.
Balsa	7-9	Extremely soft wood that is excellent for small bird toys.
Birch	42 +/-	Moderately soft wood for small to medium bird toys
Basswood	20-37	Moderately soft wood that is excellent for small to medium bird toys.
Poplar	22-31	Moderately soft wood that is excellent for small to medium bird toys.
Maple	39-47	Moderately soft wood that is excellent for medium to large bird toys.
Walnut	40-43	Moderately soft wood that is excellent for medium to large bird toys.
Ash	33-53	Moderately soft wood that is excellent for small to larger bird toys.
Apple	41-52	Moderately soft wood that is excellent for medium to large bird toys.
Elm	35-50	Moderately soft wood that is excellent for small to larger bird toys.
Cactus (cholla)		Very soft bird wood with cavities that make good small bird toys, bird perches
Manzanita		Very hardwood best for very large bird toys and

and after you pick the branches clean them.

Hello! I just adopted an IRN and she loves her bottlebrush perch that I found on Amazon. I ordered the small one and it has 4-5 smaller branches coming off of it so she has a few different diameters to choose from.

Ah thank you! I live in the UK so was confused looking it up on Amazon and all I got was bottle cleaners 😂 but I found it on US Amazon so found something similar on a UK site!
