Has anyone tried putting perches inside the Cube?

Something like these:

No, did wonder about them for outside in WIr but was told they might be bringing higher ones out. Intrigued to hear how you get on if you go ahead. Although my girls are useless at walking on the trays without the bars in!!

I was thinking about putting a perch like that on top of the existing bars - that way poo would still fall through them and they wouldn't have to walk in it.

 

They enjoy perching and the prime night time spot in the Cube seems to be perched on the entrance to the nest box, so I thought they might all like a perch.

My prime spot seems to be in the door so similar... Only concern would be if they slid about - you might have to try and secure them!! Do let me know how you get on.

I know its wood and akl that but most of my various houses have one higherd bar. This is attached to the front row of the rear plastic bars by cable ties.. holes drilled through Wood . although the cube has a slightly more complicated set up... ie 2 parallel wood bars with a block each end, like one bar resting completely along the plastic. the higher one above and giving the roosting height. mine love it, leaves the rear part if someone chooses not to roost... hope that made sense... but the 2x 1 wood is simplist though not as high..
