K&H PET PRODUCTS Thermo-Perch Heated Bird Perch Gray Medium 1.25 X 13 Inches

Product Information

Temporary use of a UL listed cord is fine, but consult your electrician for the proper cord for your application. As the owner of an exotic bird-or any bird, really-you have likely kept a close eye on your thermostat for a few different reasons.

We tried it again this fall, thinking maybe Kelly could influence her in to giving it a try, but instead they both just kept away from it. I did get one of those panel heaters from Drs Foster and Smith and they are OK, but the birds seem to like the perches much better. most of those base board plug in heaters use Teflon to help generate the heat, as we all know, a no no for birds.To keep the little hamsters fed (who, in turn, run tirelessly to keep the lights on), we show ads and partner with trusted brands as their affiliates. Here, the stone walls are so thick it never feels hot,- i put a jumper on in the evening, when i go to "normal houses" i am usually too warm and end up in shorts and t-shirt ! As other people said if it heated up too much, yes the bird would move off it, but it scares me to think if it heated up a ton and the plastic melted and a fire started in their cage. We’re also pretty lucky that the parakeets’ cage is in a relatively draft free zone, at least 3 feet away from a window and quite a bit more than that from a door.

The important thing to worry about is draft's their are few parrots that need heating indoors unlike a lot of us lesser humans. But thanks to the Thermo-Perch, Parker is now shielded from the harsh effects of temperature fluctuations. Is there a hard plastic conduit under the wire yet covering the cord or does the wire wrap cover only the electric cord? This can certainly be troubling, as your exotic bird is not like birds that are native to cold climates, such as cardinals. Providing your bird warmth is the first step in making them feel well and healthy, say avian experts and vets.

Some parrots feet can get very warm and walking with my Beryl when it is cold I can fill the heat as he stands on my shoulder. He does still fall down sometimes, so perhaps the marks could been from repeatedly hitting the bars at the bottom of the cage?

If the item comes direct from a manufacturer, it may be delivered in non-retail packaging, such as a plain or unprinted box or plastic bag. The steel-wrapped cord is outside of the cage making it very difficult for the bird to get to and it is UL listed. I read somewhere that someone wrapped their heated perch with vet wrap tape because the perch was too hot for their birds. Your bird cannot simply walk into air-conditioning-so be sure you have a place for him to stand if it gets too warm. The last two nights have been very cold, with wind chills under -17 below, and the girls are doing just fine.

The marks are on both feet, and do not seem to have bled, so I doubt they are cuts or from any sort of spontaneous injury. Its irregular shape reduces foot cramps and pressure sores, providing orthopedic benefits to your birds.

I spent a good 10-20 minutes just waiting for it to heat up until my sister touched it and said it was at it's peak temperature. Our bird loved it no matter where he was and he had four cages with Thermo perches installed They are really durable in having an irregular shape much like a natural tree branch which makes for good foot health and reduces the chances of sores or “bumblefoot”. In the wild the temperatures drop at night time even in the countries they originate from its our central heating and house environments that causes more issues for our pet birds. The Snuggle Up Bird Warmer offers a warm place to hang out, while the perch can be slept on or sat on.

What I recommend you do is analyze what perch he sleeps on and what perches he spends the most time on.
