Hate to write this review because I don't want to see this perch sell out. lol This is the best perch for the money. I originally bought it for my sun conure, but my umbrella cockatoo called dibs first, so I'm back to buy more. It's hung outside his cage up high so he can see me in the kitchen. The closure is large enough to easily fit a large cage with 1" space between bars.

I was the one who asked about putting this on a small platform. I'm here to say it was a resounding success! Drilled a hole in the middle of a square board, put some stumpy dowels in the corners to serve as legs, and mounted the perch on it by putting the screw and nut through the hole. Then I can move it to the window, where my bird(s) can watch the wildlife in the trees, or to the kitchen, where they can watch me cook, or...whereever. It's big enough to hold both my conure and my budgie at the same time, but personalities being what they are, that seldom lasts for long....

Perfect for my Goffins, eclectus and poicephalus.
