Where it connects to the cage, the 14" is actually 15" in length. br>Allen @ PetStop br>
I got the 14 in, and it's a big hit with my daughter.
The length is acceptable, but the width is better suited to smaller birds. It's what I use for my cockatiels.
Yes, even when bent, it maintains its shape.

Misty, may your soul rest in peace.
For my budgie (parakeet), who now has a disabled leg, I purchased one large and two small rope perches. Since his landing skills aren't as good as they used to be, he needs a way to climb more, and I wanted to give his good leg a softer surface because it's taking the brunt of the load right now. I placed the two smaller rope perches in a half circle around his food and water dishes to provide him with a comfortable landing/perching surface while eating and drinking. The long rope perch stretches from the bottom of the cage on the left side to the top of the cage on the right side, and this is not a small cage. He can also choose from a variety of wood perches and platforms. I frequently see him perched on the long rope perch. br>br>When it comes to rope perches, the most important thing to remember is to wrap them in vet wrap for any bird. They're fine when they're brand new, but over time, especially if your bird chews on them, the strings will begin to loosen. These strings can wrap around a toe, a leg, or even a bird's neck, trapping it and injuring or killing it. Many birds have ingested the rope fibers after chewing on the rope perch, resulting in an expensive vet bill because the fibers irritate the bird's crop, necessitating surgery or the bird's death. You can protect your bird from these loose strings by wrapping the perch in vet wrap. If your bird chews a lot, like my caique, vet wrap may not be enough, and a rope perch may not be the best option, but it can be made to be very safe for birds who don't chew a lot, like my budgie. br>br>Now let's talk about the rope perch's quality. I've had a few rope perches before, and this one appears to be of the same high quality as the others. Even though my hands aren't particularly strong, they were simple to install. I like how they're bendable and can take on any shape you give them. They're difficult to clean, but if you wrap them in vet wrap, the vet wrap is a little easier to clean, and you can simply remove and rewrap them when they're too dirty. They appear to be fairly durable, and I anticipate that they will last for quite some time.
I bought about 8 of these to replace old ones, and only one of them didn't meet my expectations, so I took a star off. I received one that had been used previously and had food caked on it, so I may have to return it. And one of them was frayed, which I was about to trim. The others, on the other hand, have been fantastic. These perches are extremely comfortable for my birds' feet, and they love them. In my cages, I like to use a couple of these, as well as natural wood perches, to give their feet a rest and to keep them well exercised. br>br>One thing to keep in mind for new bird owners: You must remove it from your bird as soon as you notice it has been chewed on. Because the fibers may become lodged in their crop, causing impaction and, eventually, death. Look it up on the internet. On such a small body, even surgery to remove it from the crop is risky; some birds are unable to handle it. So just make sure it isn't frayed by checking it every day.
This perch is a favorite of my budgies. Some reviews claim that their budgie eats it, and if that happens to your bird, you should not buy it again, but my birds are content chewing on their other perches and toys. My birds spend a lot of time on this perch, and it appears that they enjoy it. Overall, this is a fantastic perch. It's lightweight and simple to clean by soaking and scrubbing with hot water. The lime green budgie in the photos and video enjoys sitting in the cage door, waiting for me to open it. The darker one in the back is less likely to use that perch. As shown in the videos, twisting the perch into place is very simple. It's strong enough to support the small wooden bridge as well as both of my budgies.
This perch is a favorite of all of my budgies; both English and American Budgies seem to prefer it as a sleeping perch. This is the third one I've bought.
When buying a perch for your feathered friend, please be cautious. Cotton fibers are eaten by some birds, including my GCC. It's not just something to chew on; it's also something to think about. EAT. I didn't want to throw these away because I was on a budget, so I bought a cheap blanket from Kmart ($2), cut it down to size, and draped it over the perch to hide the cotton fibers. The blanket fabric is not chewed by my GCC. The fact that some birds may shred these perches is not the fault of the product's maker, so I'm not docking any stars. These perches have a fantastic concept. I have a cockatiel who walks on these perches without chewing on them, in addition to my GCC. It's simply a matter of determining how destructive your feathered companion is.
I wanted to give my finches a wider range of sizes and types of perches without overcrowding their cage. On both counts, this is ideal: All of the other perches I have for them are made of various types of hard surfaces. They appear to enjoy the option of doing so. I was able to bend it around to make a nice "water cooler" site for them to hang out on because it's flexible: I've wrapped it around a couple of watering cans. It also has the advantage of being more versatile than a horizontal perch in terms of application. So now that I've seen how much they enjoy it, I'm going to try it with a vertical twist to see if they're interested. They don't do well with a lot of change, so I keep it under wraps - and remove anything that causes them to become alarmed right away. br>It's also super easy for one person to install because it's relatively light, unlike some perches that require you to reach around or over the cage while holding it in place with your other hand - without causing panic in the rest of the building!.
My bird's toe nail got caught in this product, causing him to lose the sheathing on his rear toe nail, resulting in a lot of blood loss. Thankfully, he was able to recover after receiving first aid.
