Bird Climbing Net and Mat
A floor in the middle of the cage, where there was only air.
It turns empty vertical space into somewhere the bird can actually stand. Most cages have a large volume of air in the middle that nothing uses.

Why you'll love it
Made for happy, healthy pets
Cages are mostly empty space
Birds use height and edges, not the middle. A mat strung across a corner turns dead air into somewhere to stand, and it is the cheapest way to make a small cage feel bigger.
It is meant to be destroyed
Seagrass is a chew as much as a surface, and a busy bird will fray it. That is the toy working. Replace it when the weave opens enough for a foot to go through, which is the point it becomes a snag risk.
Hang it where it is not a toilet
Anything under a roosting perch gets fouled. Put it low and to one side, or at the height the bird already perches at, and it will get used instead of avoided.
Good fit if
- Cages that are tall but sparsely furnished
- Birds that climb rather than fly between perches
- Giving a shredder something legitimate to destroy
- Budgies, cockatiels and conures
Look elsewhere if
- Your cage is already crowded with toys and perches
- Your bird is nervous of anything that moves underfoot
- You want something long-lasting rather than consumable
Using the middle of the cage
Most cages are furnished around the edges: perches near the bars, dishes on the sides, toys hanging from the roof. The middle is a large volume of air that nothing uses, and in a tall cage that is a substantial part of the space you paid for.
A mat hooked across a corner creates a surface there. Birds climb onto it, sit on it, and hang underneath it, and it gives a route between levels that does not require flight. For older birds and clipped birds that is a genuine improvement in how much of the cage they can reach.
Climbing surface and chew in one
Woven seagrass does two jobs at once. The weave gives grip and something to grasp, and the fibres are meant to be pulled apart. Shredding is a natural behaviour with real value: it occupies the bird and satisfies the drive that would otherwise be aimed at your skirting boards.
That means it is a consumable, and a mat destroyed within a couple of months is one that worked. The wooden blocks and rattan balls on the side ropes are there for the same reason, giving beak work at different textures without needing separate toys.
Hanging it well
Corner to corner is usually best, since it uses space that would otherwise be wasted and leaves the flight path between end perches clear. Hang it below the highest perch rather than at the top, because birds sleep at the highest point and a swaying surface is not where you want that happening.
Give a hesitant bird time. Something that moves underfoot is unfamiliar, and plenty of birds inspect a new mat for several days before stepping onto it. Putting a favourite treat on it, or hanging it beside a perch already in use, shortens that considerably.

Good questions
Before you buy
Because the supplier's costs run backwards, and the bigger weave is a few pence cheaper for us than the smaller ones. Pricing them apart on that would be arbitrary, so all three sit at one price and you pick on the space you have.
The supplier says edible pigments and shows no certificate, so we are not repeating it as a safety claim. If that matters to you, the blocks and balls are the coloured parts and the mat itself is undyed seagrass.
Yes, and two. The ropes are the limit rather than the weave; check the knots at the hooks every few weeks, because that is where wear shows first.
Weeks to months, depending on how hard the bird chews. It is a consumable, not cage furniture.
Yes, it suits budgies, cockatiels and conures. The mat sags under weight, which is part of the appeal, and the spring hooks carry the load rather than the weave.
The coloured elements should be vegetable dyed, which is standard for bird products. Check the listing, and if in doubt choose undyed natural fibre, since these are meant to be chewed.
A couple of months with an enthusiastic shredder, longer with a gentler bird. Destruction is the toy working rather than failing, so treat it as a consumable.
