Highlighted Reviews

— Jasmine

"So funny enough, I actually got this for my elderly cockatiel, Mikey! He has some issues with moving around, so this gives him a nice little spot to sit and rest/forage. I personally sewed a bunch of tiny mats shaped to it too so I can swap them out/wash them to keep the platform clean!"

— Lisamarie

"Decent shelf, just doesn't come with screws and stuff - just shelf."

Bottom Line

While the shelf is a good temporary solution, its durability issues make it a questionable investment for long-term use. Buyers should consider lapse use and potentially reinforce or fix with additional supports.
