I had a cockatiel that couldnt perch so I used a wooden ladder and covered it with wadding, then calico and the top layer was cotton - I used velcro on the cotton cover so I could replace it for washing. The bird could not get to the velcro which was on the underside of the ladder. The angle of the ladder was very slight so the bird could move up and down it without any problem. I cant see any problem with you covering the shelf.

Hi, I have a twenty-something Quaker, too. I'm not sure I can quite picture what you have in mind for the shelf, but it sounds like it would be alright, if he is not much of a chewer. I give Peppy perches in a variety of sizes and shapes. He seems to like the highest one, of course, which is a concrete one on the large side. He also likes one that is similar, but a bit smoother, which is kind of a flattened round. His toes don't come close to wrapping around either one, but he can grip them. I'd be a little surprised if your bird likes a solid stand, but you never know until you try.
