The Living World® Pedi-Perch is a self grooming non-toxic cement perch for birds that helps trim and maintain blunt well-groomed nails. The multi-grip wavy surface promotes foot circulation and helps prevent arthritis and atrophy. In addition it also helps clean and condition the bird s beak. Install Pedi-Perch on the cage door provided that it is not the highest perch available. Always have a variety of perches in the cage to prevent foot problems such as bumble foot. Monitor the health of your bird s feet regularly.
