The cups are very small around but deep so to use them and not have your bird upside down in the cup they need to be filled right to the top. I am also concerned with the way the cups are designed if little beaks or toes could get caught but since my parrot is always right beside me while he is using this perch I can keep a close eye on him. It does however meet the needs as a training perch. It is not however for larger birds.

Great little perch, convenient, cute, bird seems to like it

My white dove enjoys the perch stand. Be wary though, the diameter of the dowel seems too big for her to wrap her legs around. As for assembly, very easy but they send the wrong screwdriver so if you have a small one handy, you'll be fine. This stand seems durable but you can build yourself one for a cheaper price.

WHAT A GREAT BUY! HERE'S MY TOP 5 WHYS:

1. MOVABLE PLAY GYM FOR TOP OF CAGE
We try to give our birds as much time out of their cages as possible; and this gives them a safe, high, vantage point, where they can see everything, and tend to fly around less (if we leave the room, they fly and follow us, LOL. I use them to create a play space on top of their cages; thereby, effectively keeping their birdie messes centralized "into their cages," for the most part. I had considered a more permanent play gym that attaches via bolt to the cage top, but realized that would interfere with the night time covers.

To cover the cages each night, I can simply lift these perches up, cover the cages, then replace them back on top of the cover until the next day.

As my birds are too short to reach the top perch, I used two macrame & wood ladders to help them climb.

2. EASY ASSEMBLY
Literally (4) wood screws...done! Even comes with its own Phillips screwdriver! (I used a drill driver, and each was assembled in less than a minute.

3. HIGH QUALITY
The perches and side supports are all solid pine; and they are also cut evenly, sanded, and pre-drilled exactly where needed! The sandpaper top perch reminds me of Rhino-liner used in the back of pick-up truck beds, and has been applied evenly, and looks nice. Finally, the plastic feet are also high quality, and serve to actually "anchor" the perches atop the cages, as they fit perfectly in between the wires of my Vision cages! A definite bonus!

4. VALUE
For the price, it can't be beat!

5. PACKED WELL & SHIPS FAST
As you can see from the photo, this is my second one, and they Both were packaged well, with a repurposable, plastic zipper bag with easy-to follow photo instructions, separated hardware, bubble-wrapped feeding cups, and a screwdriver.

What are you waiting for? :) Just buy it already!

It's a pretty basic product, but was easy to assemble even though it was missing one screw. At first it seemed not to sturdy but after tightening all the screws it's actually pretty good for the money. Little to tall though for my bird, but I had a ladder so it worked fine.
