| Mine both really like the rope perches. The only issue is that you need to keep an eye on loose threads and they need regular washing if they get pooped on. I like the safety pedi-perches, the ones that are smooth on top so they don't abrade the feet but do keep the nails down.
Scotty, I fear, is also partial to the evil dowel perches that came with his cage. Ideally each cage would have a wide variety of widths and textures. His has the 3 dowels, rope, safety bamboo sandy and a huge java perch that he rarely uses. | |

| I prefer the natural branch perches, but my cages both have natural perches, rope perches and concrete perches. I haven't tried the safety pedi-perches yet, but with Arthur's nails the way they are I may be buying some soon! | |

| Get perches of all different types. I've got perches of all different textures and sizes, some that are too small for their feet, some that are too big, and plenty that are just right. | |
