At Everglades Bird Supply, we prioritize the health and well-being of your feathered companions. It is important to understand that natural wood perches, although loved by birds for their authenticity and health benefits, can accumulate bacteria and dirt over time. Routine cleaning may not be enough to fully sanitize them, as these porous materials can harbor unseen germs.
Below recommendations are for perches being used indoors. If perches are used outdoors replacing them may depend on environmental factors.
To ensure the cleanliness of your bird's environment, we strongly recommend replacing heavily used or easily soiled perches every 6 months when they do receive routine cleanings. When not receiving routine cleaning, replacing them may need to be more often. If the perch is not heavily used or in a low traffic area you could go 12 months without replacing (perches are not normally dirty or are not often used). By doing so, you'll create a safer space for your beloved birds and help prevent the risk of infections or illnesses caused by unsanitary conditions.
