Rope Perches
Rope perches are Great! They have diffrent thicknesses, and are softer so birds can get a better grip! Just make shure your bird isnt pecking at it or they might eat some. If you see any stray threads, or damage at all remove the perch, as it can cause impacted crops and other veterinary concerns.

Okay so basically I bought a few perches. One is like a bridge thing. Yukako loves sitting/swinging on it. But she's started destroying the rope and then throwing the fuzz on the ground. Is it still okay to leave it in?
If the bird is actualy ingesting it, then no, but If they are just throwing it yes. If you are not sure, I would rather be on the safe side.
