What is a Flat Bird Perch?
A platform, or flat perch, is flat than the normal round perches most often used. Round perches should be used as well, however different variations and the use of flat bird perches can benefit birds. Platforms come in different sizes and are attached to cages just like round perches.
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.
Birds also fly down on the ground to forage, a flat surface, which we stimulate by using a flat perch.
