This is a great perch and it saves both me and my bird the stress of a nail trim.

Pros: My bird likes it!

Cons: very heavy

My bird likes the rough surface- great for keeping toenails short. I like the easy wingnut installation and the varied diameter. If you suspend your cage from above you will want to buy a couple to balance out their weight!

Pros: easy install, rough surface, varied contour

Cons: heavy

This perch is a good addition to wooden ones. It does allow birds to sit on some different material. My birds like to scratch their beaks on it, but like the the sand perches, it does nothing for their nails.

Pros: varied, different

Cons: can be too rough

Great for birds nails and beaks. I don't have to trim my birds nails as often when I use this perch.

Pros: Foot and nail pedicure

Cons: Crack easily
