I prefer the heated perch because they are in contact with the perch in an area (feet) that is designed to absorb the heat. I don't like heated perches, they are nothing but a gimmick, if you ask me (parrots in the wild don't have heated anything), because what you need is a warm room for them, not a warm perch. The Thermo perch maintains an optimal temperature of 102 to 107° which radiates to help warm the entire bird.

Flame Retardant MaterialThe Parrot Perch enclosure is made of flame retardant material, which reduces the risk of fire. Feel free to talk about parrots in the wild, owning parrots, the pet trade, rescuing parrots, purchasing parrots, avian veterinarians, and anything pertaining to these beautiful creatures.

They may fall off a few times at first, but they learn to use the grooves in the perch in a short period of time. So, that is the fast answer in case you really needed to know-but to really get the scoop on these great perches for your pet, please keep reading and you will have a good understanding of just how and why heated perches are safe for birds. The answer, combined with keeping your doors and windows sealed so that no drafts get in, and keeping the thermostat at a regular and comfortable temperature, is to provide your pet with a heated perch. There are mugs so you can relax with a hot beverage whilst your Parrot plays happily with their new accessories.

As long as the room doesn't get damp with cold ie moisture up the inside of the windows which is when mould grows it should be fine. They may be on other side of the world or even close by but they always here for everyone to love and share their animals and will alwayshelp if they have been threw what the other has. The way in which you clean up this particular perch is by using a damp paper towel or cloth on it, wiping away any debris. Is it worth taking him to the vet still, or should I just try switching out the perches and see if he's okay? would probably work like a radiator where it would make the heater constantly run where it's cooling through the piping.

Metabolism IS what keeps the chickens warm (in addition to their down jackets that insulate against the cold).

Just like an electric blanket for a human, care and caution must be exercised so this great tool is used in a safe way. We touched on this a little earlier, but the way in which it is irregularly shaped makes it nice and comfy for feet of birds. If you combine this particular perch with a perch that has a sand-coating, you can also aid in the health of your bird’s nails and beak.Please understand that since that post was made (6 years ago) I discovered feeding corn to keep warm is complete BS.

Secondly, you also want to be sure the heat is set at a level you can afford-expending too much heat can be a drain on the wallet as well as bad for the environment. To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. Much like us humans like a variety of chairs, birds like perches of varying shapes, sizes, textures, and lengths. I did tape a heat sensor to one perch right after I got it and ran it in an empty cage and the temp of the perch never went over 103F.He does still fall down sometimes, so perhaps the marks could been from repeatedly hitting the bars at the bottom of the cage?
