Today we received a great note from a customer complementing our products and service. But the true hero is Kelly who just rescued a Mealy Amazon from poor care. People who open their hearts and homes to birds in need are amazing. Here is Kelly's note.
Is it possible to improve on the natural wooden perch? We think so. We have added patented pumice technology to Manzanita perches to offer all the benefits of wood and cement perches. Now birds can have extra safety and nail health benefits of a textured grip in a natural wood perch.
I have 2 green cheek conures (male and female). My female "Sophie" LOVES this chewy toy!! It's my 5th or 6th repeat purchase of the medium size one. Initially I was buying the small size but she tore through it too soon and the large one was enormous and I had a hard time putting it inside her cage when she goes to sleep at night. The medium size is great for her, as she loves to pull ONE crinkly paper out at a time, and walk over to the corner of the "roof" of her cage to chew it and press it until it's nothing but a teeny little "ball" of a piece of paper. The medium one lasts me long enough so I don't have to repurchase as often, and I love seeing her enjoying herself with this very simple but mentally stimulating chewing toy! The only reason I took off a start was because the netting that holds it together has to be thrown away when she's finishing it off because these tiny fibers are worrisome for my Sophie to be chewing on (she will!) after she's finished all the crinkly papers. But I save the silver hooks for other toys I can hang, so that's another little plus to this toy!
Also, I took a couple pictures of her chewing it, along with a video showing how she does it, but unfortunately I couldn't find a way to upload anything on my review for this product.
I purchased the large purple perch for my African Grey three weeks ago, but he won’t use it. I introduced it gradually, both outside and inside the cage, but he continues to avoid stepping on it. He may simply not like the color. Hopefully once he does use it, I will be able to tell if it helps with trimming his nails.
I purchased the small perch for my cockatiel, 3 weeks ago, and he’s taken to it right away. He even nibbles on it here and there. I picked the yellow one, which is really cute. I haven’t seen a difference in his nails yet, but I’m guessing it might take a little while. Hopefully.
