This is a desk perch for your budgie or your feathered buddy. You can put a paper underneath to catch the droppings. If droppings come in contact with the perch, wash it immediately. If this happens too much, print a new one because too many droppings equals too much bacteria on the perch. Use fuzzy skin so that it feels better for your bird's feet. Scale it down for small birds like canaries and finches. Scale it up for birds like conures and cockatiels. Again, birds have feelings. I cannot guarantee that your bird will like this, but Mango had a decent time on it.
