Product Information
Full details
The Trixie Natural Living Rope Climbing Wall is an ideal enrichment accessory for budgies and other small pet birds, designed to encourage natural climbing behaviors and physical activity. By providing a rugged, textured surface made from bark wood and sisal, it helps maintain healthy claw length and beak condition through regular use. While it is an excellent tool for alleviating cage boredom, prospective buyers should ensure their enclosure has sufficient wall space to accommodate the 27 cm by 24 cm dimensions without overcrowding the living area.

FAQs
Is this safe for birds to chew on?
Yes, it is made from natural bark wood and sisal, which are safe for birds to gnaw on as part of their natural behavior.
Can I wash this with soap and water?
It is not recommended to soak the wood, as it can harbor bacteria if it stays damp. Use a dry brush for cleaning.
Is this suitable for large parrots?
No, this is specifically designed for smaller birds like budgies; it may not support the weight or accommodate the size of larger parrot species.
How do I attach it to my cage?
The frame is designed to be fixed directly onto wire cage bars. You can use bird-safe fasteners or ties to secure it firmly.
How long will the product last?
Longevity depends on the activity level of your bird. Heavy chewers may require a replacement sooner than birds that use it primarily for climbing.
Troubleshooting
The bird seems afraid of the new climbing wall.
Place a favorite treat on or near the wall to encourage the bird to approach it at its own pace.
Sisal fibers are fraying significantly.
Trim loose, long strands with scissors to ensure they do not catch on the bird's feet or nails.
The wall is wobbling on the cage bars.
Use extra bird-safe zip ties or additional mounting hardware to tighten the frame flush against the cage wall.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installing the climbing wall involves securing the wooden frame firmly to the cage bars to ensure it does not shift while the bird is maneuvering. Ensure the net is pulled relatively taut to prevent tangling.
Compatibility: This unit is primarily sized for budgies and similarly sized avian species. It is best suited for medium-to-large wire cages that can support the 27cm x 24cm footprint.
Care Instructions: Keep the unit dry. If the sisal net becomes heavily soiled, use a dry, stiff brush to remove debris. Avoid submerging the wooden frame in water, as natural wood can absorb moisture and promote mold growth. Replace the climbing wall if the sisal fibers become frayed to the point of creating large loops, which could pose a snagging risk to your bird's toes.
