Specializing in designing and producing
products and accessories to meet the needs of companion birds of all types
and sizes, PerchUp Pet Products is located in Montreal, Canada.
Our concrete perch concept emerged in the mid-nineties when we realized
that abrasive perches were actually harming the sensitive foot pads of
many pet birds. Abrasive perches are necessary for bird nail maintenance
when one does not want to subject their pet to the trauma of forced nail-clipping,
yet current alternatives to PerchUp perches may be doing more harm than
good. Our therapeutic concrete perch is completely bird friendly. We have
incorporated a smooth top-side to protect soft skin, while limiting the
abrasive texture to the bottom-side of the perch so that the only abrasive
contact for the bird is on the nails.
After years of extensive design testing and refinement in collaboration
with our company’s chemist specializing in concrete, we found a unique
blend of ingredients to meet the exact specifications and characteristics
we were looking for.
Completely non-toxic
Highly durable
Has a perfectly smooth glaze, yet
provides a secure grip
Has a surface that breathes with virtually no imperfections
Has a vibrant, visually pleasing pastel colour
A quartz-concrete matrix is exposed
during deglazing process providing a highly effective nail wearing
action
The
2mm opposed angle “v” groove is the best configuration for maintaining
clipped nails as the function of this style is to round the end
of the nail rather than completely file it down. Provides a more
moderate wearing action.
