At Parrot and Pet Supplies, we would like to provide you with a chart on suggested perch sizes for your birds. As you may already know the importance of having a perch diameter that is not uniformed, but more catered to your birds natural environment, it is also very important for keeping your bird exercising and to help prevent “Bumble foot” infection and boredom.

When it comes to keeping your feathered friend happy and healthy, choosing the right perch size is a pretty big deal. A bird perch size chart is a handy tool that helps you pick the perfect perch for your bird, ensuring it’s not too big or too small. You see, birds spend a lot of time on their feet, so the right perch is crucial for their comfort and foot health. If the perch is too small, it can cause foot cramps or even deformities over time. On the flip side, if it’s too big, your bird might not be able to grip it properly, which can lead to falls and injuries.

Using a bird perch size chart takes the guesswork out of the equation, so you can easily find what’s right for your specific bird. For instance, a budgie will need a different size perch compared to a macaw. Plus, varying the perch sizes within the recommended range can actually be beneficial, as it mimics the natural conditions where birds would encounter branches of different sizes. So, next time you’re shopping for bird accessories, make sure you keep the perch size in mind.

1/2″inch to 1″inch diameter perches are great for small birds such as, Parakeets, Cockatiels and Lovebirds

3/4″inch to 1-1/4″inch diameter perches are great for medium size birds such as, Conures, Meyers and Quakers

1-1/4″inch to 2-1/2″inch diameter perches are great for large birds such as, Congo’s, Macaws and Amazons
