Customer Reviews

My name is Stephanie Lamb and I am a veterinarian specializing in avian medicine. I first heard about Flat Perch from the owner of the business Jodi back in 2019 I believe. She gave me a free sample to try out and for our display in our lobby. It clearly was a high quality product made from thick, sturdy wood and smoothed out to be comfortable to the touch. I started to recommend them to my clients who had birds with various medical aliments including arthritis, neurologic disorders, cardiovascular problems or elderly individuals who just needed to rest easier. The concept is great because perching does require more energy output from a bird than just sitting flat footed on something. Most birds want to sit on a perch though because not only do they typically like to get to the highest vantage point possible, its also a natural behavior for them to want to grasp something. However, when a bird is ill, it would be better for it to rest flat footed somewhere. These perches allow the birds to still be able to perch on something and have it be located in an area they prefer, but it allows the bird to rest and not expend as much energy. I recommend Flat Perch all the time to my clients for this reason. I eventually took the sample home for my grey who is in her 30’s and she loves to rest on it!

They have products like milk thistle (recommended by my avian vet for my sun conure’s liver) that I cannot find easily anywhere else. They have excellent customer service and … are kind. What could be better? My sun agrees with me!

I have multiple older rescued parrots with various disabilities/medical needs (arthritis, poorly healed fractures, cataracts, seizures, tumors, etc). I stumbled across Flat Perch and their products have been a game changer for my birds. I’ve

Been able to customize cages and play areas to each bird’s needs do everyone is comfortable and safe. I have ordered perches, dining tables, sheets, pillow tops, bolsters, and ramps. It never would have occurred to me to look for most of these things for a bird cage, but they truly make a difference In my birds’ comfort and mobility.

The coating and sheets for the perches save me so much cage cleaning time. I never worry that anything they send me will be contaminated or contain materials that will harm my birds. I cannot say enough good things about their products and wonderful customer service.

I also recently tried their seed misx which my parrots love and I can feel confident that I know what I’m feeding them.

Truly fantastic small business!

Recently my avian vet told me that Molly, a 20 yr old cockatiel, was losing weight which made me realize that she had to be in pain when feeding from her food cups the typical way. Molly is a rescue from the Greater Chgo Caged Bird Society who said they didn’t know how one of her legs was fractured, but she had 4 other homes before mine. Then my vet asserted that there is no way her broken leg with built up arthritis can be mended. In the nick of time, Flat Perch to the rescue!!! Bought the 2-cup Dining Table for Molly who “bellied up to the bar” without any hesitation! Thank you, Jodi & Daniel! P.S. Molly also has a Flat Perch bed as does my 30 yr old ‘tiel named Duncan.

Our 28yr old, African Grey Congo (Frankie) was diagnosed with Arthritis. It breaks my heart to see him trying to perch. He has started on an anti inflammatory prescription. I pray this will give him some relief. After extensive research, I found FLat Perch. What a wonderful concept to give our birds relief from perching on an ordinary perch. I ordered the large, half moon, size for the outside of his cage. We are in the process of introducing it to him. Bird owners know how difficult this can be. The craftsmanship of the flat perch is very impressive. I’m hoping he will accept this as a place to rest during the day. I also ordered (separate order) Christines’s dehydrated, vegetable Chop Mix. This company is amazing as to how many products they have to offer. So glad I found them. You won’t be disappointed. Thank you Daniel and Jodi.
