i wanted to wait and see how this product affected my birds’s nails and im happy to say it looks like their nails are being trimmed well (in combination with one of the perches from this company.) im unablw to trim their nails myself at the current moment due to the new relationship with my birds (relatively speaking) so i needed something desperately to help. i can say with full confidence that, for small birds at least, these products are phenomenal.
Perch fit in cage as expected. My bird has been using it at least some of the time and his nails look to be improving, no sign of soreness on the feet.
We have these in almost every cage here, and have since we were founded in 2014. Many "pedi" perches have the rough surface all the way around but these have a smooth surface where the birds' weight rests on them, so they are comfortable on the feet and will not cause sores or inflammation (bumble foot). We recommend these to everyone who adopts from us as well as folks we assist via our Outreach and Education programs.
It's always best to give them more than one size. We use medium and large for birds like Amazons and African Greys. We use x-small, small and medium in our budgie and cockatiel flight cage. They really work for keeping nails groomed.
