Good to know

  • Replace rope and cotton perches as soon as they start to fray; loose threads can trap toes.
  • Stainless steel and ceramic bowls are easier to keep clean than soft plastic and harder to chew.
  • Only add a nest box if you plan to breed, as it can trigger egg laying in hens.

Common questions

Are sandpaper perches good for keeping nails short?

They are widely sold for that purpose, but they can be rough on the soles of the feet and do little for the nail tips. Natural wood perches of varying thickness, plus a cement or mineral perch alongside them, are a gentler option. If nails get long, ask a vet to show you how to trim them safely.

Do I need a nest box for my budgies?

No, not unless you want them to breed. A nest box can encourage hens to lay eggs repeatedly, which drains calcium and energy. Budgies roost on perches, not in boxes, so they do not need one to sleep.
