can the perch shed larger birds?

Depends on the weight. The perch has 3 spring loaded settings which adjust the weight at which the perch tips down. Large birds like blue jays still have trouble since the distance from the perch to the seed openings is small. The springs could probably be shortened which would decrease the tipping weight. Like I said this unit is ineffective for squirrels as the hang on one side and reach around to the other.

I had very little activity on this feeder for all size birds. I have a very active population of birds...and squirrels...and this feeder seemed to keep them all away unfortunately...Even the smallest birds had difficulty getting at the seed.

the dove manage to get on it but look like they are hanging on for dear life The majaroity of bigger birds stay away like blue jays - the woodpecker and yellow bird come to the feeder

Cardinals manage to feed, and, with trial and error, doves occasionally manage to feed (safflower seeds, which squirrels supposedly don't like). Blue jays seem to have a tough go with it. Red wing blackbirds less so. All the same, chickadees, titmice, nuthatches, etc., are what usually perch.

Yes but you will have to mount the perch near the floor of the cage so he / she is not cramped.

I would think they could I did have a couple of western scrub jays at mine and they managed but the perches might be a little small there was a lot of flapping to stay balanced

It has a medium sized perch in. This travel case was well worth the purchase too. Use it for all my cockatiel's vet visits.

No! I bought it for a parakeet and he just climbed out the roof! It is NOT meant for smaller birds!

I'm sure they could, if they would. It would have to be very full. We usually have a few orioles on our other feeders early on, but we got this one later so I'm not sure. We're in southwest Missouri. Since they can perch, I would think they'd use it.

YES... Perches are too large for a cockatiel's foot. I have both a timneh african grey AND rosie cockatoo on it with room to spare.

We use ours for Mr. Utley, an African Grey. He travels to the beach most days in it. We had a friend modify the perch as the wooden dowel that comes with it is too small for his talons.

Yes, we have an African Grey and the size is ideal. However, the perch is made of a soft wood rather than manzanita and our bird has certainly "whittled" that down.

Yes (these adjust the weight which will 'close' the access to the bird feed which keeps larger birds out if desired)

the diameter of the perch is about 1"...but it looks like you can easily replace it with a bigger one. My macaw was not comfortable on the skinny one.

Hi, absolutely...I have a pair of Zebra Finches and one Orange Weaver, I just fill the bathing area about half full for the smaller birds. They love it and it is easy to use and clean.

It would probably hold a maximum of 3-4 cockatiels on the perch at one time. The Pak has two food dishes and they could be removed to hold more on the perch.

I buy the biggest size petco or petsmart offers and then just cut a slit all the way down the length and put them on the perch, works pretty well.

Depending on the spacing, I believe they would. When they abut one another it gets too wide, lap them over to work better. It certainly has stopped the birds from nesting.

I got this for my gray and he has an adequate amount of room. The plastic perch only goes halfway across the cage. I suppose that you could fabricate a longer perch. In theory, you could put both birds in it as long as you don't expect them to do anything but sit there. My gray just sits still in it when I take him outside to sit with us in the evening. Mainly it is just for him to be with us. I'm pretty happy with it. Very sturdy.

I would say no, not them seeing they need room to move more then the canary we used it for. I would go just a little bigger for parakeets especially 2.
