The Rosewood Naturals Branch Perch is designed for small to medium-sized pet birds such as budgies, finches, lovebirds, and cockatiels, providing a necessary ergonomic upgrade over standard smooth dowel perches. Its primary benefit is the promotion of healthy foot and joint function through varied, natural textures that encourage movement and prevent pressure sores, though owners should note that it requires periodic inspection and replacement as the wood wears down from natural use.

Yes, it is designed for natural chewing, which helps wear down beaks and provides enrichment.
There is no fixed schedule; replace it once the wood shows significant wear, becomes brittle, or develops dangerous splinters.
It can be wiped down with a damp cloth or a bird-safe disinfectant, but avoid fully submerging or soaking the wood.
It is designed to fit most standard bar-spaced cages; however, ensure your cage structure can support the weight of the wood.
The uneven surface prevents fixed-grip injuries and exercises the feet, mimicking a bird's natural environment.
Check the mounting hardware to ensure it is tightened against the cage bars and that the wire hasn't bent.
This is normal for nervous birds; place the new perch next to a familiar existing one for a few days to build confidence.
Remove and discard the perch immediately; it has likely been exposed to too much moisture.
Installing the perch is straightforward; use the provided attachment hardware to secure the branch firmly against the cage wire. Ensure the perch is positioned so that the bird's tail does not hit the cage bars when it is sitting.

Care Instructions:
To maintain hygiene, gently scrub the branch with a bird-safe disinfectant during cage cleanings. Avoid soaking the wood for extended periods, as this can lead to mold growth. Regularly check the branch for any sharp splinters or signs that it has become too thin, and replace it whenever the structural integrity is compromised.
