Corner Shelf – Powder Coated
$66.50 (inc GST)
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). The straight edges of the powder coated shelf are 30cm, the ledge is 4cm tall and from the inner corner to the outer most edge (on the curve of the shelf) is 28cm.
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, however it’s recommended to wash the mats well before use.

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.

Very happy with this purchase! It allows me to make use of the corners of the cage with a platform so that my baby Charlie (as seen in one of the photos for this product) can play around on it with his foot toys or bathe when I put his bathing dish on it rather than being on the very bottom of the cage. Kirsty also supplies an optional seagrass mat that can be fitted with the shelf that makes the platform more comfortable for my Charlie to perch on, I highly recommend adding that too. The mat is zipped tied to the platform so it is nice and secure with the ability to replace that in the future if you wanted!

My eastern Rosella had problems with his feet because even though he had a variety of perches available, he’d sleep on the plastic end of one every night, which was too hard for him. I got him one of these platforms and he adores it. Sleeps up there every night, and his feet healed up within a week.
I recently bought another for my elderly cockatiel. He loves sitting on it in the sun every morning looking out the window.

Malaki is a blue fronted amazon parrot and he now has two of these platforms. They are his favourite place to be. Malaki likes to be upside down on his platforms so he can kick his toys with his feet. The platforms are great quality
