So I recently bought the perches online from petco that Illusive recommended. I have it on an incline so that he can use it to trim his beak. His beak seems to be getting long very quickly. Do birds automatically know that this kind of perch is to help them trim their beak? What do birds in the wild use? And any advice on how to get him to use it?

I think he'll just do it on his own Kim. And he'll probably use it for scratching/rubbing his head on when it's itchy too.
In the wild they use tree branches or even rocks.

you just got it...dont expect instant results with everything...ok here is the word again...PATIENCE....lol...here is the phrase again...ALL THINGS IN KEET TIME....

i think we need to get some desktop wooden plagues or ones to hang on the walls behind our keets that say these things...lol

LOL I know he isn't gonna use it right off the bat. I just worry about my little fella.

well stop worrying its taking the joy of everything away...

No kidding. But it seems I am the worry wart of the family. I'll try to be better.

wanna have a worry contest giggle...i worry about where poops fall for gawd sakes

Cheeko has discovered what the cement perch is for. I caught him rubbing his beak back and forth across it.

And Cheeko seems to like hard boiled eggs. I used about half an egg with egg shells. I put it in his regular dish with just a few seeds sprinkled on top. As soon as he discovered it, he was chomping away. He must have gotten some stuck on his beak and used the cement perch again to wipe it off. This was a separate time from before. It was so cute. Priceless!

yep and thats what cappy does too with the cement perch its a groomer and a bib and a napkin giggle...he cant help but to have a well groomed beak and he really lays into also and being set up in a uphill way with the perch it helps him to keep better balance so he can reallllly leaannnn into it giggle

akin to watching a bear rub its backside on a tree ya can almost hear the oooooooh that feels soooo good lol and for those lil head pin feathers too....he lovesssss his cement perch

I am going to get a few of these for my cages. I have cuttle bones but they do not touch them.
