    Product Description

    Feathered Friends Crushed Walnut Shell Y Perch is a premium abrasive grooming perch designed to naturally trim your bird's nails and beak while providing a secure, comfortable grip. Expertly crafted as a lightweight alternative to heavy cement perches, this grooming accessory gently files down sharp nails and beaks over time through everyday movement.

    Featuring a unique multi-branch design, the natural Y-shape mimics the organic variations of the wild, encouraging natural grasping, foot exercise, and different resting angles to keep your bird engaged. Each perch features a natural hardwood core coated in textured, crushed walnut shells. This specialised surface provides a secure foothold that helps evenly distribute foot pressure across the base of the foot, actively assisting in the prevention of painful pressure sores. Available in both Small and Large sizes, it is an essential addition to any enclosure for low-maintenance grooming and physical enrichment.

    Please note: Each perch varies unique in its exact shape, thickness, and branch configuration; the product images provide an idea of the general style you will receive.

    Features & Benefits

    Natural Grooming Action: Gently and continuously files down sharp claws and conditions beaks as your bird moves, reducing the need for stressful manual trimmings.

    Multi-Branch Y-Shape: Mimics natural tree branches to encourage foot exercise, varying grasping grips, and multiple resting angles for better joint health.

    Lightweight Alternative: Offers the same excellent abrasive grooming benefits as heavy cement or concrete perches but in a much lighter, cage-friendly design.

    Natural Hardwood Core: Built with a strong, natural hardwood base coated in crushed walnut shells for a highly durable and bird-safe texture.

    Promotes Foot Health: The textured surface ensures a secure, slip-free grip that helps distribute foot pressure evenly, actively preventing debilitating foot sores.

    Materials

    Natural hardwood core, crushed walnut shell coating, bird-safe adhesive, and heavy-duty metal attachment hardware (washers and wing nut).

    User Instructions

    Attach securely to the cage bars using the included heavy-duty washers and wing nut.

    Position the grooming perch in an area where your bird spends a high volume of time, such as next to a favourite food bowl, water dish, or near the main door.

    Do not place the perch directly under higher perches where it could become soiled by droppings.

    Wipe clean with a damp cloth if necessary, but avoid submerging the perch fully in water to protect the walnut shell coating.
