PerchCare Weighs Birds Without Physical Handling of the Animal
References: yankodesign
PerchCare weighs birds without physical handling by integrating precision sensors into a natural wooden perch that fits directly into a standard enclosure. The system records a bird’s weight whenever it lands, capturing accurate readings during normal behaviour. The design removes the stress of manual weighing and allows caretakers to monitor daily or long-term changes without disturbing the animal. Data is processed through a companion interface that helps track health trends and identify early signs of illness.
The perch is shaped to support typical grip patterns across multiple species and uses a durable, non-slip coating that maintains comfort during extended perching. The unobtrusive profile blends into existing habitats, which preserves natural routines and encourages consistent use. PerchCare demonstrates how thoughtful design can simplify wildlife care, improve monitoring accuracy and create safer environments for birds in rehabilitation spaces or home settings.
