Re: adopted a pair of love birds. advice needed

Well what I posted under RoseForTheDead was another quote from a website, if you still choose to use them, then that is your choice.

All you need to do is do a google search under bumblefoot in pet and avairy birds, you will get many sites all confirming bad perches/sandpaper perches will and may cause it. If you have a variety of perches so the bird doesn't sit on the sandpaper perch for long periods of time you should be ok?

If you are worried about cleanliness on the perches, I wipe my mine down every day with warm soapy water? You can also use baby wipes to wipe them down every day. If they are left for several days then yes you will have problems keeping them clean.

Hope this helps.
