Perchcare is a smart perch designed to measure the body weight
of rescued wild birds. a key indicator of health without causing stress
during the rehabilitation process.
Traditional methods, which involve restraining birds and placing them
on a scale, can cause severe stress that may harm their health or even
lead to death, while also posing injury risks to caretakers.
In contrast, Perchcare integrates weight-sensing technology directly into
the perch installed inside the bird's cage, allowing for automatic weight
measurement during natural perching behavior.
This enables safer, more efficient rehabilitation management.
