Cement Perch

A textured cement perch that files nails and beak as the bird stands. A cheap alternative to regular nail trims, used the right way.

Our take

Like a sand perch, a cement perch has a gritty, tapered surface that wears down nails and beak naturally, saving you and the bird the stress of manual trims. The key with any conditioning perch is moderation: make it one perch among several soft ones, and never the highest perch where the bird sleeps, because standing on grit all night rubs the feet raw. Positioned well, it does a quiet, useful job.
