Any safe perches on Amazon?

Does anyone buy any of their perches off of Amazon? I've been looking around, and I'm not quite sure what looks trustworthy and safe. If not, where are some good places to get natural perches? I was hoping to find some on Amazon since I have a gift card, but if anything is in question I can always source the perches from somewhere else, or from the vendors here.

Here's the Amazon group I was looking through, it has a bunch of natural perches: ElleAndTheBirds's Amazon Page - BIRD PERCHES

(Also, has anyone used coffee perches before? I've come across them a few times, but I haven't heard of anyone using them, and I haven't seen it on any bird-safe wood lists, though I've only looked at a few of those thus far.)

Walmart has java wood perches and so does petsmart.com

If they specify the type of wood AND the type of hardware, it might be okay. That seems to be lacking from most Amazon products I've seen in the past!

Amazon has turned out to be like ebay. Pictures are deceiving, descriptions a lot of times are incorrect. Stuff may or may not show up when promised . Seems like half of the stuff is seconds.

I would only buy from amazon if it were a brand I knew. Trixie comes to mind for me in Europe, I have bought a corner platform from amazon beccause I saw it was Trixie, and I get perches from my usual place which have trixie tags on.

For unbranded perches, I would only trust reputable sources and definitely not amazon.

I'd not personally trust them for something as important as these were our birds will be walking and chewing on them.
You can check out our vendors on here.
Lil Monsters Bird Toys Mulberry Perch

And SeriouslyNutz. Seriously Nutz - Birch Perches *Custom Size* - Custom Length Bird Perches for Aviaries and Cages. 12-72" Long

I believe that Coffee Wood is also known as Java wood which is completely safe.
That's what I was thinking. Thanks for the link! I've looked at some of the vendors already and their perches look great, I'll have to get some!

Thanks for the recommendation! I'll have to check those out. @Rebel, have you used them before?

Exactly! I've looked at a bunch that just said they were made of 'wood' without listing what kind, or anything else. And a few of the ones that did list the type of wood had some things that made me hesitant to trust them. I remember one review saying that the perches looked as if they had been stained, which would definitely be a no go. I think I'll get some of your perches instead, they're much more trustworthy :)

That's what I was guessing. Thanks!
