Polly's Sand Walk X-Large Classic Bird Perch Review

Great perch, I bought this for my Blue and Gold Macaw and I really like it, it sharpens its claws to a smooth shape. Perch size is 16 inches +/-. It has a large back panel for support.

My Macaw Catalina destroyed it within HOURS of setting up the cage. Yes, I understand large macaws chewing and destroying things, but other brands have lasted at least a month. Not recommended for larger birds.

This product works well for several weeks before the birds start chewing on the polished areas and miss the mark. I would recommend that the polished finish is more resistant to chewing macaws or made entirely of hard material rather than just covering the wood.

I was very disappointed when I received this product. I thought I would buy a reddish brown perch as shown in the picture but I received a turquoise perch. I even looked through the reviews of this product and didn't see any mention of the color. I find this very misleading and I wouldn't buy it if I knew it would be teal.

I bought one for my African Gray. They love to chew on things. I put this in his cage late one night and in literally 30 seconds he chewed a hole through a fairly thin coating that provides abrasion, exposing the wood core. The next morning he had completely peeled off the coating. If you have a large bird that likes to chew on something, do not buy this product.

I have a juvenile macaw that is very picky about the 'furniture' in his cage. Because she has such large feet and strong claws I have a hard time finding perches that will support her claws between trims and keep her legs healthy. We've tried so many that I was a little hesitant to buy a perch online, but she and I are both very happy with this perch. It's heavy and strong enough that I don't have to worry about it sagging or tipping over when she sits on it, and the grit on it is excellent. It
