Bird Perches

If you are interested in pampering your bird a little and giving them something that they will love using for a very long time, then a bird perch might be exactly what the doctor ordered. When you look at all of the different things that people involved with birds do nowadays in terms of feeding and maintaining their birds, very little thought is usually given up front to the actual habitat the bird has to live in. Remember that birds are genetically pre-disposed to either sleeping in a nest or perching on a branch to roost. Therefore, if you are able to mimic that in the cage, the bird will be far more comfortable for it. A&R Supplies sells a number of great bird perches and the different categories of bird perch that they offer are discussed below.

Mineral Perches

Mineral perches are excellent because they combine the wood from the Cactus and then the minerals of the Manu River in Peru are nestled in the center of the perch surrounded by the different wood textures. This perch is excellent because while many birds ignore the block that they perch on, birds find this one irresistible and therefore they will slowly consume it and get much needed nutrients. It is also long lasting so that you don’t have to go out and buy a new one right away. These are both very important points to consider and you can buy different sized perches for $11.99, $15.99 and $19.99

Calcium Perches

The interesting thing about the calcium perch first and foremost is that it has a very bright color specifically designed to attract the interest of your pet. In addition to that, it has an irregular shape that will allow your bird to exercise themselves in positioning on top of it. The perch itself is made of cuttlebone and also contains a mount that allows you to easily attach it to the side of the cage. Basically, it is just an all around good design and it too comes in three different sizes priced at $11.99, $13.99 and $15.99

Pedicure Perches

These perches are intended for one purpose and one purpose only; to help your bird maintain their nails and their beaks as well as giving them foot exercise on a regular basis. These do not have the multi-function purposes of the mineral and calcium perches, which both do the job of the pedicure perch to a certain degree. However, in many cases this type of perch is very important for your bird to have and therefore many owners like to switch back and forth between a pedicure perch and one of the others. In any case, this perch comes in five different sizes ranging from $8.99 for the extra small size all the way up to $17.99 for the extra large size.

Shower Perches

If your bird loves to be in the presence of either misting or showers, then you can take a look at the hand grooved PVC shower perch that A&R Supplies puts out. It is a great way for your bird to perch and enjoy a quick shower and with a starting price of $22.00 it is reasonably affordable as well.
