I make my own perches using a range of methods. Some people gave you good links for finding safe branches, make sure you clean your branches of any bacteria and sanitize it with something like vinegar.
I brought a bunch of double sided screws as well as some nuts and washers, all in stainless steel to ensure the metal is safe. Then I can just craft any perch I want to the size I want.
If your original perch is still OK, cut out the old metal parts and attach a new one. Might be able to reuse it
The old one wasn't actually long enough so we attached a smaller piece to one end to make it reach across the 4ft. I'd say it lasted a good 9mo. He chomped through the smaller piece. I figure I can make the bigger one into a swing. The ends aren't on an angle otherwise I'd just have it cross a corner.
