Manzanita Bird Perches and Manzanita Bird Stands
Buy manzanita bird perches at our manzanita website. We have an abundant supply of manzanita wood that could be used for manzanita bird perches and manzanita bird stands. This dense hardwood grows exclusively along the west coast in the mountains of Baja through California and into Oregon. Because it is nontoxic and chew resistant, manzanita wood is prized by bird owners. The natural texture of both the wood and bark is easy to clean and a good surface for birds to grip.
Manzanita is a shrub or small tree and very rarely grows straight. Manzanita branches grow into shapes that are great for bird perches. The variable diameters and irregular shapes are good for exercising and keeping the birds feet and leg muscles healthy.
Manzanita branches can be good for simple bird perches to mount in a cage and are also crafted into elaborate bird stands and play gyms. Manzanita tends to branch a lot as it grows and can produce complex branches that in their natural form can make a complex perching and play gym that birds love.
Since a bird spends most of its life on a perch, selecting the right perch for them is very important. In the wild a bird can pick their own branches to perch on, but in a cage the bird has to depend on its owner to pick the right perch. Wooden dowels or PVC pipe arr often used since they are cheap and simple. But a uniform shaped and diameter perch is not always best for the bird. When a birds feet are always gripping the same diameter perch it can cause foot health problems. With a manzanita perch the shapes and diameter of the perch varies. This is good for the birds feet and allows the bird to pick the most comfortable spot to perch.
Manzanita wood makes a good material for making bird toys. Birds like the texture to chew on and since it is nontoxic and chew resistant manzanita bird toys are an excellent choice.
At this time we don’t supply retail bird products but can supply raw manzanita wood material that could be made into bird products or other crafts.
