What is a Flat Bird Perch?

How Do Birds Perch In The Wild? 

Trees have branches that vary in diameter, length and structure so there is no one size that fits birds. Therefore, in our cages, we should vary perch sizes as well. Branches also sway and swing so moving perches, like swings are also a great addition to add to your bird's cage.
