edillon5063 Posted January 11, 2009 Share Posted January 11, 2009 Does anyone use rope perches in their bird's cage? I've read that they're comfortable for birds to sleep on, but I've also heard of birds getting their toenails stuck. Are they safe? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
judygram Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 I use those rope perches and the rope boings, both my birds use them all the time and Josey, my grey, sleeps on hers every night and they are comfortable on their feet. You have to inspect them from time to time to check for frayed threads and ends but otherwise I have had no problems with them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LisaM Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 I'm the same as Judy. I have both rope perches and rope boings. I just keep an eye on them and if they start getting frayed I replace them. All of mine are on their boings a LOT. Only one of my three parrots (male ekkie) goes through boings and even then I only have to replace it about 2-3 times per year. I think if you have perches that help keep the nails from getting super sharp that might help also. I have one "Safety Pumice Perches" in each cage which are smooth on the top and have the pumice stuff only on the sides where the nails hit. I haven't had to trim/file their nails since getting them! (can Google them and find several places that sell them now). Lisa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
