Why is there not a perch for them to land on to get into box?

Hi, I believe there is no perch to keep large predators from perching outside the entrance hole and reaching in.

Owls don't need a perch. They're able to fly in without having to land first.

Yes but lower attachments make it easy for the squirrels to just jump to them. Pole is not very high. It's all about placement of the attachments and how close the pole is to other objects. With a little repositioning the squirrels really don't bother trying and mostly just eat off the ground around the pole. We are happy with our purchase and find the starlings that visit to be a way bigger problem than the squirrels.

mine is just under the hanging bird food. If that is too low, then chipmunk or squirrel can jump on top of that.

No.....there is not a ramp or anything for them to use to get in and out of

DIP THE SUCTION CUPS IN BOILING WATER TO SOFTEN THEM! DRY THEM AND IMMEDIATELY PUT THEM BACK IN THE WINDOW. I did this a week ago and the perch is sturdier than ever. And it is the middle of winter in MN!

That's a common problem. I've tried cutting them down to fit and just wedging them in... Neither worked very well at all. What has ultimately worked was drilling two holes in the front/top of the boxes and getting some fine gauge stainless steel wire and running the wire through the holes to attach to the cage. It seems like a lot of work, but honestly, I like the boxes enough to make the modifications worthwhile. Good luck!

They won't jump over it unless you have some lathing inside they can climb into. There is an opening that you can connect to a cage with a tube. You can close it as well when you use it elsewhere. It's best to give them a lot of space to move because in the morning. They love to run around. It was a great purchase and easy clean up to store.

Width of rafter is a factor: you need to leave no foothold for the birds to perch.

that's hard to say...you could put one of them in this litter box and try to keep the entry point out of the direct line of sight (make it a back door entrance) - you can always order, look at it and judge for yourself if you think it may help, if not, return it as I did.....good luck

We have not seen any pigeons on the platform, but we don't have any in our area. We do have crows that would be about the size of pigeons, and I haven't seen them on there. I think the larger birds would have a hard time landing on this platform.

I have to lift mine to put them in, all except for one that will jump up and in. There's not a ramp.

I attached mine to an old piece of a cage siding, and then tied the extra cage piece to the inside of the breeding cage. I also glued a little hook to the top of the box and tied it to the cage. That helped to keep in steadier. I have a couple of the Petco Cockatiel Barn Roof cages that have one very high area. There was plenty of room for my budgie pair in the cage, even with the box sitting on the cage floor.

I'm afraid not. i have the same problem. First if your talking about real little chicks they might have trouble getting into it. Then, it's easy to knock over. If your chicks are bigger they can still manage to kick in the chips. The ONLY thing I found that really helped was to raise up the basic feeders. Make a platform of sorts out of pieces of wood. Make it so the chicks can get up and stand on it, an area big enough for them, put the feeder in the middle. This will keep a lot of chips from flying into the basic feeder. I did not find this one useful. This will work for full grown chickens as well. I use them for water and feeders both. Platform to be a minimum of two inches then stack them.

The holes are small enough the the birds can't get in. They would have to be very tricky and able to hover to get only their head and beak through one of the openings.

If the perch was practically touching the ground, yes. It would be a close fit.

Even if they don't have front claws they should still be able to jump up on the different levels. They won't have any need for the scratching posts but should still love jumping,climbing and sitting on it.
