Heated Comfort Perch
Product Overview & Description
The Avian Thermostatic Heated Comfort Perch provides gentle, continuous conductive warmth directly to your bird's feet, helping them regulate core body temperature during cold nights, winter drafts, or periods of convalescence. Operating on a safe 12V low-voltage adapter with a chew-resistant steel wire conduit, this ergonomic perch is thermostatically regulated to a surface temperature of about 38°C to 40°C (100°F - 104°F) while providing variable grip diameters to exercise foot tendons.
Technical Specifications & Materials
Direct Conductive Thermoregulation
In cold ambient rooms, birds lose substantial metabolic energy through their unfeathered, highly vascularized feet. A heated perch transfers soothing conductive warmth directly into the digital blood vessels, allowing the bird to relax pectoral muscles and conserve vital energy.
Comfort for Older & Convalescing Birds
Older parrots and birds recovering from illness may appreciate a warm perching option. A heated perch is not a treatment: sick, arthritic or fluffed-up birds need to be examined by an avian vet.
Chew-Proof Armored Cable & 12V Safety
Parrots easily bite through household electrical cords. Our heated perch incorporates a continuous flexible stainless steel armor conduit covering the wire from the cage wall, to help protect the cable from beaks. Inspect the conduit regularly and unplug the perch if it is damaged.
Proper Cage Placement Strategy
Never replace all perches with a heated perch. Mount the heated perch in a cozy upper corner of the cage alongside several unheated natural wood branches, allowing your bird to freely choose its preferred roosting temperature.
Questions buyers ask about this item
The thermostat is designed to hold the surface at about 38°C-40°C, which should feel only gently warm. As with any heated device a fault is possible, so check the perch by hand regularly, look at your bird's feet for redness or sores, and unplug it immediately if it feels hot or your bird avoids it.
Yes, wipe the water-resistant resin surface with a damp cloth and mild disinfectant; do not submerge the electrical cord connector in water.
It is designed for continuous thermostatically regulated operation, but check the perch surface, cord and your bird's feet regularly, and always provide unheated perches so your bird can move away from the heat.
