[Guest cosmic dave]

Good for keeping clean, better than wood anyday, But they used to be a bit flimsy, And a bit colder for the birds. Personal preference really :-)

prefer the plastic ones they dont absorb moisture so get less bad bug build up on them

As dangerous as hell in my opinion, bought a sack load of them to be lazy because they do clean fairly easy but they got sharp corners on them and the birds were damaging their flights when flying into them, took every one of them off and am selling them 60 pence each if anyone wants them, most like them so don't take my word for it, that's just how I see it.

Have used these plastic ones before.......the only thing I did before fitting was to smooth off the corners with a file......bit of work, but well worth it !!

Another thing I did was to buy myself double the quantity I needed. When cleaning the loft, I simply removed the dirty perch and replaced it with a clean one. I then had the time to clean the soiled perches and allow them to air-dry for next time. Bit more expense I know, but made cleaning out a lot easier for me !!

I have been using these for the past 2 years. I have 2 sets and whilst using 1 set, soak the others in bleach then scrub them clean. They come up as good as new.
