Speedygo Posted September 11, 2015 Share Posted September 11, 2015 Sorry don't know where to post this question, I bought 2 java trees for my African grey. I noticed it's kinda slippery for them can I sand it down?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greywings Posted September 11, 2015 Share Posted September 11, 2015 Yes you can, I believe they make them smooth to facilitate cleaning. Some among us wrap the branches in Vetwrap to make a better grip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave007 Posted September 11, 2015 Share Posted September 11, 2015 (edited) I have a different way of doing this because I don't believe in putting artificial items such as vet tape on different perches and other bird items. I take very smooth items such as perches and take a dremel tool and cut very shallow lines into the perches in all different directions which imitates natural tree branches that are on outdoor trees. In the wild, all the different wild birds have no access to vet tape. The lines allow the birds to grab the perches easily and allow the claws to easily grip the branches. I'm a big fan of imitating whatever wild animals use especially different sized branches PS---a simple hand saw can also used.

Greytness Posted September 11, 2015 Share Posted September 11, 2015 That's a great idea! I've always used vet wrap, but don't like how it collects dust, poop, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
