Why manzanita

Your bird stands on its perch all day. It should be a great one.

Manzanita is a favorite among parrot people for good reason. It's beautiful, it's tough, and it gives feet something real to grip.

Feet are a parrot's foundation. What's under them matters.

1

Built for beaks

Manzanita is a dense hardwood that holds up to busy beaks far longer than softer woods.

2

Natural foot exercise

Twists, forks and changing thickness give feet the variety a straight dowel never will.

3

One of a kind

No two branches grow alike, so every perch has its own shape, color and character.

4

Easy to keep clean

The smooth, hard surface wipes down easily during a cage changeover.

From the grove to your bird

How a perch gets to you

  1. Grown in California

    Every branch comes from manzanita ranches in California.

  2. Handmade by manzanita artists

    Shaped, finished and built into perches by people who know this wood.

  3. Matched to your bird by me

    I help you choose the size and shape that suit your bird's species and setup.

  4. Brought to you

    I deliver your perch myself. No shipping box, no guesswork.

Sizing

Which size fits your bird?

A good perch lets your bird's toes wrap most of the way around, without meeting.

SmallBudgies, parrotlets, lovebirds3/8″ to 5/8″
Small to mediumCockatiels, green-cheeked conures1/2″ to 3/4″
MediumSenegals, caiques, quakers, larger conures3/4″ to 1″
Medium to largeAfrican greys, Amazons, small cockatoos1″ to 1½″

General guidance. Manzanita changes thickness along each branch, which is part of what makes it so good for feet. Not sure? Text me your bird's species and I'll point you to the right piece.

Who's behind it

Brought to you by David DePino, Avian Specialist

I'm the mind behind David's Parrot Care, the groundbreaking bird boarding alternative: your parrot stays home, and I come to them.

Over six years and more than 3,000 visits, I've seen just about every cage setup there is. I know which perches birds actually use, which ones they avoid, and how much a good one changes their day.

Manzanita Grove brings that experience to your bird's cage. I choose every piece with your bird in mind and bring it to you myself.
