Have Something To Add?

Instead of the “boing”, I have a wonderful swing with an inch-wide plastic green horseshoe, with a pumice/concrete perch that’s screwed into both sides of the plastic horseshoe. The whole swing hangs in the middle of the top of her cage by an elliptical link. It took Aziza a long time to become interested in the new swing, but she now uses it a great deal–and loves it!
I still remember having the rope perches called “boings”, and my pet Congo African Grey Aziza chewed both of the boings that I had all the way down to the wire. I have not gotten any more rope perches/swings for her since, because I felt it was too risky.
This is handy. You forgot the calcium blocks and cuddle bones that the birds need as well though.
Thank you! We do have calcium included on the list for small birds here: https://www.allpetbirds.com/pet-bird-supplies-small Hope this helps!
i have heard that rope perches can be dangerous… helpful list though
Yes! That is absolutely true. Always inspect rope perches for any loose threads and be sure to cut them off.
