Saved our bird's life and more... November 22, 2006

Please do the right thing and buy one of these for every caged bird you keep. Always give a bird a heated perch. We now always use thermal perches (aka thermo perch) ever since it's come on the market/been invented. These have saved our bird's life on several occasions. We have an umbrella cockatoo and use the medium sized perch. He would catch at least 2 colds per year, sometimes life threatening. Birds hide sickness very well else in the wild flocks will abandon sick birds to avoid catching illnesses. By the time you notice they're sick it could be too late. In the past we tried heat lamps but he accidentally got too warm/burned skin). These perches are a perfect temp for him all the time. And they seem indestructible. Now our guy never catches a cold or gets sick (have we gotten lucky?). He's much calmer, less screaming, fidgeting, repetitive motion--stuff cockatoos do when not happy. He's much happier. We have a daytime cage and nighttime cage, both cages have thermal perches. When we board him we always set up a thermal perch. Rooms that are kept at temperatures comfortable for humans (70-74 deg f) are way too cold for many types of birds--they seem never warm enough for caged birds. Also please never put your bird where there is a draft from A/C or windows, etc because of household molds that can grow in the lungs and kill birds. BTW the easy way for us to tell if our bird is too cold is to touch his feet and beak; if they are not warm to the touch then he is too cold. Please do the right thing and use these perches. You should pay no more than forty for these.
Wonderful for your birds! February 7, 2007

When I first heard about Thermo Perches I thought it was an interesting idea, but probably not necessary for my birds.
Was I wrong! I came across one of these at a big discount and decided to try it in the cage where two of my cockatiels live. At first they were leary of it (natural) but then the older cockatiel got brave and tried it. For awhile I'd come home from work and there was the older cockatiel, happily perched on it. Most nights he slept on it.
Then the other cockatiel decided it might be worth checking out. Now they both stay on it, sometimes sleeping on it, sometimes not.
Parrots wouldn't use this perch if it didn't feel good to them.
I especially loved that the cord is wrapped in a metal coil -- there's nothing my parrots won't try to chew, and the coil would keep them from the cord. Of course, the design of the perch is such that they can't even get to the cord once the perch is fastened to the cage.
Get one, or two. You won't regret it and your bird will feel much better.

Great product. The bird loves his warm perch. The only problem we had was removing the disc from the flange to install it. It was glued together. Husband had to use a knife to scrape between in order top free the flange. Would buy again though.

Temp varies from lukewarm to comfortably warm depending on where "Buddy" stands. Nice product at a fair price.
 Good product, fickle bird. January 24, 2008

The Thermo Perch is exactly as promised and does precisely what you'd think. The only problem so far has been getting my cockatiel to acknowledge its presence. (So far she's alternated between refusing to look at it and stepping over it with great disdain...) However, even though she won't actually sit on it, it does help keep that part of her cage a little toastier than the rest of the room, which is good. It would be much improved if there was a dial to allow adjustment; I think she'd like it better if I could turn the temperature down a bit. As it stands, I'm going to try covering part of it in strips of bird-safe cloth or leather to make it a bit cooler and hopefully more popular.
