DIY Bird Perch Stand (Easy, Affordable + NO Screws!)
Вставка
- Опубліковано 6 сер 2024
- Hey everybirdy! 🐦 We had a few friends on Instagram ask us about our DIY bird perch, so we thought we’d show you exactly how we made it! Our design is super customizable to fit any size and type of parrot - parakeets, cockatiels, conures, caiques, quakers, macaws, cockatoos, you name it! 🦜 Best of all, this design features NO screws, so there’s zero chance of your birds potentially ingesting metal or hurting their little feet! We love training our birds to do tricks while they're on our DIY perch 😊
SPECIAL NOTE - The wood you choose must be UNtreated (aka not blasted with chemicals). Also, we don't recommend having your bird sitting on this perch for extended periods of time because their feet require variation (similar to a real branch in nature). We have a variety of different sized and textured perches that they're constantly moving around on, so they're unlikely to get bumble feet!

SPECIAL NOTE - The wood you choose must be UNtreated (i.e., not treated with chemicals). Also, we don't recommend allowing your bird to sit on this perch for extended periods of time because their feet do require variation (similar to a real branch in nature). In addition to this perch, we have many other varied and textured perches that they're constantly moving around on, so they're unlikely to get bumble feet! Hope that clarifies it :)
I really appreciate your showing the expensive versus regular tool options and making this project feel so easy and accessible! I'm now a subscriber!
What a great video! So professional too, I wish I had all these tools in my garage!😅 I can’t wait to try this myself with my standard saw and drill for Tikki and Pippa!❤️
Go for it! We just bought these tools, so we were excited to use them, but you can definitely use hand tools too!
Just found this video and your channel. It's incredibly helpful! I can't wait to try this out. Thanks so much!
Thanks for making this video! I like that you kept it simple and achievable, it was really encouraging and just what I was looking for to solve my problem. I was easily able to build one today for my fledging rescue squab who refuses to sit anywhere but my shoulder right now. He’s adorable but a bit intense when he’s flapping his new feathers out. I’ll try him on his new perch tomorrow and see how he likes it…
Informative video! 👍🏻
(Ehh…kinda “nerdy”…..but that’s cool👌🏼)
perfect guys, thank you 💌🦜 have you ever made a 5 ft perch? and id love to learn how to add feeding bowls to the perch too, so if you can help id greatly appreciate it :)
Amazing parrot 🐦
I support you guys.
I just love this, you guys are amazing!!
Aww so sweet!! Thank you!
Awesome!! Will have to try this for our next project!
Please do! Your birds will love it!
So cute!! Love the video
-Butter the bird’s Mom 😂
Aww thank you! Hope this inspires you to make something for Butter!
Is there something like a bird-safe finish you can add to the top surface of the base board to make less porous and easier to wipe off bird poo? Something like... Mineral oil or coconut oil? Or course something that won't get stinky and rancid.
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Pair is so beautiful i am talking about u 🥰🥰🥰
What treat where you using? Was it an almond?
What do you give them for a treat?
What mutation is benjie? And bijou?
Can you put shredded paper in the bottom of the cage?
If its a baby, you shouldn't put them in a cage but in a big box or basket with a layer of plastic and then newspaper on top. But for an adult bird you should just put newspaper in the tray t the bottom where all the poop and stuff goes
Looks awesome! Simple and sleek. -@plutobirdie
Hey Katy and Pluto! Glad you liked it!
It is affordable... if you already purchased the tools
Bro, not the inspectails 💀
@lukesmith713,
She said inspectiels because her parrots are Cockatiels!
No screws, just carpentry machinery
