Review: Pros and cons of this heated bird perch - I'm writing this review in the hope of saving birds from some of the things I have read in other reviews here, by owners who obviously love their birds but don't have a lot of knowledge of birds. I have many birds, many different species large and tiny, all rescues. I have had at least 20 Thermo Perches over the past decade, large and small. First of all, I'll tell you why I buy them. When they work, there is nothing better for a sick bird, or a lonely bird, or even a healthy bird in an aviary on a winter night (particularly female birds). Most sick birds, older birds or birds sleeping alone end up loving this perch. Some birds are afraid of it initially and a few stay afraid. Young healthy males usually show no interest in it - their testosterone is so high they are warm enough except in extreme cold. The perch is too smooth, and size small is not as small as it should be for finches, canaries, etc. That being said, most small birds - even tiny zebra finches - find a way to comfortably perch on them if they want the warmth. They are a blessing to many birds in cold, lonely, or unhealthy situations, and I believe they can extend the active life of some of these birds. Now, the bad. First, as I mentioned, the size, texture, and shape. Not ideal, not even close. Still, worth buying and trying it for your bird. You have to understand how important warmth is to birds in less than ideal conditions. More important than food and water. It can be the difference between life and death in a sick bird. Next problem. I suspect the company may recently have switched to having them produced by a new manufacturer. The older ones never failed at the cage attachment. While I have not had any of mine break at all, not even the ones used by my heavier birds, I have read of a few recent failures. I have also noticed my newer ones do seem just slightly weaker in that area. But overall they are physically still quite good quality. I think breakage is still a rare occurrence, not anything to be overly concerned about unless you have a very heavy bird. That leads us to the final, and worst problem. One that can seriously endanger your bird. That is over-heating. I never had any of my perches over-heat until I discovered one last night. When doing a last check in my parrot room in the dark, right before closing the door for the night, my mitred conure Oliver, a young male, made a strange noise. I went over to see what was happening. He was sitting on his heated perch, which he never does. He normally sleeps on a branch right next to it, to absorb a bit of the heat without direct contact. This night he looked a little too alert. I felt the perch, and it was hot to the point of me recoiling my hand because it burned. Needless to say, I removed my bird instantly, disconnected the perch from the wall, and let it cool before putting him back. He's a very smart guy - I know he did that to let me know something was wrong. It had probably just started to radically over-heat. One review on here by an owner says "it was too warm, with a few hot spots. But overall, a pretty good idea". Can I just say, "NO!"? If the perch is too hot, get it out! Immediately! Your bird will get burned, and could even lose toes, feet, or get an infection. I always wondered if these things could over-heat, and have always physically checked them on a regular basis. But I never had one over-heat until last night. So please, understand that these things are truly a great idea. But they are cheap plastic electric items, and can fail. I would not say absolutely never use them because they can do a lot of good. But if you use one you MUST check them with your hand every day, and take them out immediately if they are anything more than pleasantly warm. One last thing - as tempting as it may be, do not wrap these perches. In anything. That can lend to over-heating or even a possible fire. If you choose not to use one due to the problems, there is another product - a small heated panel that easily attaches to the cage wall. I have had great success with that as well and it does seem more consistent and reliable. Review: Great perch - cannot sing enough praises for the Thermo-Perch; it's an absolute game-changer for exotic bird owners like me. My parrot, Parker, has been living the life of luxury ever since this marvelous creation entered his cage. First and foremost, the health benefits are outstanding. Living in a climate with unpredictable drafts and air conditioning can take a toll on our exotic birds. But thanks to the Thermo-Perch, Parker is now shielded from the harsh effects of temperature fluctuations. This thermostatically controlled perch ensures that Parker's environment remains consistently cozy, just the way he likes it. The unique shape of this perch deserves a standing ovation. It reduces the chances of pressure sores and foot cramping, which is crucial for Parker's overall well-being. The fact that it's made of tough, non-toxic, bite, and scratch-resistant plastic gives me peace of mind, knowing that Parker can't harm himself while enjoying his perch. What truly sets the Thermo-Perch apart is its temperature control. Parker now has the luxury of choosing the perfect temperature for himself, thanks to the varying temperatures from end to end. It's like having a personal thermostat for your bird! Safety is paramount when it comes to our beloved pets, and the Thermo-Perch doesn't disappoint. It uses a harmless 12V electrical current, and I've made sure to keep the cord well out of Parker's reach to ensure his safety. As for sizing, I opted for the Medium, and it's the ideal fit for Parker. The perch diameter varies along its length, ensuring Parker's comfort as he perches and plays. And let's not forget the brand behind this brilliant creation – K&H, with over two decades of experience in crafting safe, innovative, and top-quality pet products. They've truly outdone themselves with the Thermo-Perch. In conclusion, if you cherish the well-being of your exotic bird, the Thermo-Perch is a must-have addition to their cage. Parker's never been happier, and I'm one satisfied bird parent. Plus, with the added peace of mind of a one-year limited warranty, what more could you ask for? Thank you, Thermo-Perch, for bringing warmth and comfort into Parker's life! 🦜🌑️ ## Features - BIRD HEALTH: Heated bird perch counters the effects of cold drafts & air conditioning that can harm exotic birds - GOOD FOR FEET: Unique shape reduces pressure sores and foot cramping; Constructed tough plastic which is non-toxic & bite/scratch resistant - PERFECT TEMPERATURE: Thermostatically controlled with varying temperatures from end to end to allow your bird to choose the perfect temperature for them - SAFE: Heated bird perch uses harmless 12V electrical current, but always be sure to keep the cord away from bird’s reach - SIZING: Small is 1” in diameter and 10.5” long, Medium 1.25”in diameter and 13” long, and Large is 2” diameter and 14.5” Note: perch diameter varies along the perch for bird comfort - BRAND YOU TRUST: Designed by K&H with OVER 20 years of experience in creating safe, innovative, quality products for pets ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B07HMLDNF4 | | Best Sellers Rank | #64,653 in Pet Supplies ( See Top 100 in Pet Supplies ) #223 in Bird Perches | | Brand | K&H Pet Products | | Brand Name | K&H Pet Products | | Color | Gray | | Customer Reviews | 4.3 out of 5 stars 2,116 Reviews | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00655199633647 | | Included Components | K&H Pet Products Thermo-Perch Heated Bird Perch Gray Medium 1.25 X 13 Inches | | Item Dimensions L x W x H | 13"L x 1.25"W x 1.25"H | | Item Type Name | K&H Pet Products Thermo-Perch Heated Bird Perch | | Item Weight | 7.04 ounces | | Manufacturer | Central Garden & Pet | | Manufacturer Part Number | 100537788 | | Material | Plastic | | Material Type | Plastic | | Model Number | 100537788 | | Pet Type | Bird | | Product Care Instructions | Hand Wash Only | | Product Dimensions | 13"L x 1.25"W x 1.25"H | | Size | Medium 1.25 X 13 Inches | | Target Species | Bird | | UPC | 655199633647 | | Unit Count | 1 Count | | Warranty Description | One year limited manufacturer warranty | ## Product Details - **Brand:** K&H Pet Products - **Color:** Gray - **Material:** Plastic - **Product Care Instructions:** Hand Wash Only - **Product Dimensions:** 13"L x 1.25"W x 1.25"H ## Images ![Thermo-Perch Heated Bird Perch for Cage, Bird Cage Accessory, Exotic Avian Warming Post for Med/Large Feathered Friends Like Parrot, African Grey, Cockatoo - Medium 1.25 X 13in 12V - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81TzX2wqIGL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Size, Style** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: Can you easily tell it's on when you touch it? I just received mine today, it's been on for a few hours, and it doesn't feel warm to me!** A: The perch I ordered for my birds feels very warm to the touch. Not enough to harm them but they enjoy sitting on their swing resting their chests on it. **Q: What size perch should I get for my Amazon?** A: There are multiple sites online to determine the size for your bird. I found this suggestion: Perch size for - African Greys, Amazons, Small Cockatoos, ... Large Perches 2.5cm to 3.8cm **Q: Since this is a low voltage (perch side of the transformer) any chance that running this device through a lamp dimmer (AC side) would help to control the heat level, say something capable of handling a 300-500 watt halogen bulb?** A: Use a thermometer controller not a dimmer. If you need the cage temperature to be an escargot temperature then get a heater with temperature controller. It’s no efficient to put a regulator on this perch since it is for an open cage you’d be heating the entire room. **Q: Has anyone bought one of these that started out heating properly but later got too hot?** A: When the Thermo-Perch is first plugged in, it will get warmer than normal. The thermostat will regulate itself and cool down to a normal temperature within an hour or two. The temperature along the perch will range anywhere from approximately 99Β°F to 108Β°F. The end closest to the cage will feel warmer than the other end. Also, many people believe the perches are too warm, but birds have a normal body temperature of 106Β°F and need more heat than humans who have a body temperature of 98.6Β°F. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Pros and cons of this heated bird perch *by S***A on July 16, 2017* I'm writing this review in the hope of saving birds from some of the things I have read in other reviews here, by owners who obviously love their birds but don't have a lot of knowledge of birds.
