Corner Shelf – Powder Coated
$47.00
Corner shelves are a great way to utilise space that may be otherwise difficult to make fun! Pop this platform high up in your birds cage as a nice roosting spot or at another level, with foot toys as a play area for your parrot. It can also be handy to place this near to a bolt-on foraging toy to provide access to that level of the cage. Popular with able-bodied and handicapped birds, it provides a nice spot to ‘chill out’.
The bars and sides of the platform are powder-coated. It attaches to the cage with bolts and rectangular ‘washers’ and will fit most cage and aviary bars. See the last 4 photos for an example of the corner shelf set up in a small, travel cage that has horizontal bars on one side and vertical bars on the other. The bolt with the fixed wingnut head screws straight into the hole in the corner shelf, eliminating the need for loose parts on the inside and outside of the cage.
The shelf has a large ‘lip’ on the curved edge. It is pictured with the lip facing downwards, however it can also be positioned the other way, with the lip facing up. This would hold small items like foot toys on the shelf (until your bird throws them over the edge).
I also offer the option of adding a piece of woven seagrass mat onto the platform for a chewable, safe & comfy perching spot for your bird. Replacements can be purchased separately for once the mat gets chewed. I use seagrass mats from Bunnings, that I wash and then soak in F10 veterinary disinfectant. They are thoroughly sun dried then cut to size, using a few small zip ties to stop the cut ends from fraying. The seagrass mat is then attached to the Sundeck with a few more small zip ties.
You can choose to make these seagrass covers yourself, how it’s recommended to wash the mats well before use.
As of 19th October 2018, these are due back in stock by the 24th of October and you can pre-order now to have your order sent as soon as they arrive.

Seagrass Mat
$3.70 – $6.00Seagrass mats have been used and recommended by avian vets and myself for over 5 years now. They are natural, versatile and safe to chew.
I have only just started stocking them to sell, as I’ve always recommended others to purchase them from Bunnings. However, due to frequent requests, I’ve now got these available, already cleaned and soaked in F10 Veterinary Disinfectant so they’re safe and ready to use. I can also supply them to be added to the platform options that I stock.

Acrylic Corner Shelf
$18.50Corner shelves are a great way to utilise space that may be otherwise difficult to make fun! Pop this platform high up in your birds cage as a nice roosting spot or at another level, with foot toys as a play area for your parrot. It can also be handy to place this near to a bolt-on foraging toy to provide access to that level of the cage.
Easy to remove and clean, suitable for all bird breeds though best for small to medium parrots. You can line the platform with a seagrass mat, native bark strips or similar to give a more natural feel. Use kids PVA glue to safely attach. See the extra photos for examples of what I’ve done for my birds. I’ve known of people using astro turf also, though the safety of this is debated.
The acrylic corner shelf attaches to the cage/aviary bars with 2 bolts that go through the shelf and then the bars, with washers and wingnuts on the outside. The washers are 32mm in diameter (suitable for nearly all cages), though I have a few at 38mm which are suitable for wide, 1″ bar spacing. Please mention in order notes if you require the larger size (subject to availability). If you have wider bar spacing, you can switch out to your own, larger washers.
The whole shelf measures 22cm from side to side, 25cm from back to front and maximum width across the front is 33cm. Please see the photos with purple ruler for clarification. The shelf comes covered with blue protective plastic from the manufacturer. This should be removed before use. Clear (plastic removed) shelf shown in pictures.

F10 SC Veterinary Disinfectant Concentrate 200ml
F10 SC Veterinary Disinfectant Concentrate 200ml
$33.00F10 SC is a safe and pleasant smelling anti-fungal disinfectant, that is commonly used in veterinary clinics and zoos. This 200ml bottle of concentrate will make up a total of 25 litres of product, at the highest concentration recommended (1:125). I use this to clean all natural parts before use and it’s great for cleaning cages and other surfaces. Also perfect for cleaning seagrass mats, perches and toys. F10 SC smells quite nice and not too strongly of chemical.
It is used by avian vet clinics to prevent the spread of Psittacosis (a common respiratory form of Chlamydia), Psittacine Beak and Feather Disease Virus (PBFDV) and other contagious avian diseases. It is also an anti-fungal, killing aspergillus, candida and others.
F10 SC is also commonly used for cats, dogs, rabbits, reptiles and other small animals as it prevents a lot of relevant diseases for all species. It is not currently registered to kill PBFDV, though it is commonly used for this. For a full list of diseases that is kills, please see the second image.
Please note, this is a disinfectant for external use only. Useful for cleaning the environment, perches, toys, cages, bedding and utensils for your pet, but not as a treatment for any of the above diseases.

This fits perfectly in both the outdoor aviary and indoor cage and is very easy to clean. I just line the top with some eucalyptus bark, sprinkle some treats on top and cover with some native leaves and pods for my birds to forage through. They love it! So happy with it that I am about to order another to put their food tray on also.
