It was the time to find new perches as mine is a larger parrot that LOVES to chew on wood (including her perches). Got it and she was so interested in the wiggly shape of it and immediately started trying to chew it, when it's in her enclosure, she perches on it regularly (both are a great sign for her!). Would recommend it because the texture and shape varies a lot and interesting new perches are great for their feet in the long term. If yours is a bit more cautious around new things it might take some getting used to.
