Highlighted Reviews
"We love this perch as it allows us to fold it 'out of the way'. It allows us to give our girl a shower without having to hold her. She loves the humidity and overspray of when we are showering too. She did not like it attached to a window. I think she felt to vulnerable to the outside."
"I have tried attaching this perch in the shower and window. Stays for about 10 minutes, then I hear a crash. Tried using the alcohol as directed. Tried wetting disks."
Bottom Line
While some users found the perch to be sturdy and useful, the high frequency of falling off and durability issues makes it a less reliable choice. Buyers should consider alternative perches that offer better stability and durability for their birds' safety.
