That is a real good place for bugs and such to hide out, just use something big enough for the foot to have a almost flat/slightly curved place for roosting.

I was thinking the same, but I thought I'd ask as I was reading a real old game keeping book and they talked about a perch/roost like that.
Are Sumatras sensitive to any feed ingredients like other long tails?
In the past I fed my very diverse flock of birds a combo of commercial feeds, oyster shell, cooked rice, wild bird seed mix, oats, alfalfa, veggies, fruits & creepy crawlies. I just read a bunch of some what confusing info on legumes for birds... peas & lentils seem safe as best I could make out from that... others needed to be cooked to neutralize the anti-nutrient compounds it seems. I think I need to re-read the info and do more research.
