My Journey with Manzanita
Hi, I’m Matthew Corsaro, and I’m passionate about crafting natural bird perches California pet owners trust for their feathered and reptilian companions. My journey into creating premium manzanita pet products began in the beautiful foothills of Calaveras County, where I discovered the remarkable beauty and durability of manzanita wood. This native California hardwood, with its stunning twisted branches and rich red bark, is the perfect material for chemical-free perches that provide both enrichment and safety for birds and reptiles.
What began as a personal appreciation for sustainable pet supplies has flourished into My Manzanita—a California-based business dedicated to handcrafting organic bird toys and natural perches for conscientious pet owners. As a small business operating from Calaveras County, I personally source each piece of manzanita from local, sustainably managed forests. This hands-on approach ensures that every manzanita chew stick and perch meets my strict standards for quality and safety. I believe that pet products should enhance your animal’s wellbeing without compromising their health or our environment, which is why all my products are completely free from pesticides, chemicals, and artificial treatments.
My commitment to eco-friendly pet products goes beyond just offering natural alternatives—it’s about creating a meaningful connection between pet owners and the environment. When you choose manzanita perches for parrots or bearded dragon cage accessories made from this remarkable wood, you’re supporting sustainable forestry practices in California. Each handcrafted piece is carefully cleaned, sanded smooth, and inspected to ensure it’s safe for your beloved pets. Whether you’re looking for natural wood perches for bird cages, reptile climbing branches, or enrichment toys, you’ll find that manzanita’s dense hardwood structure and unique aesthetic make it superior to mass-produced alternatives. I’m proud to serve pet owners across California and beyond who value quality, sustainability, and the health of their animals.
Community is at the heart of what I do. As a member of the California pet community, I actively connect with bird owners, reptile enthusiasts, and exotic pet keepers who share my passion for natural, safe habitats. Through online forums, social media groups, and local pet expos in California, I’ve built relationships with customers who trust My Manzanita for their pet’s needs. Many of my clients are avian veterinarians, reptile breeders, and wildlife sanctuaries who recommend my manzanita wood products because they understand the importance of non-toxic materials. I also support local bird rescues and reptile rehabilitation centers by donating perches and sharing knowledge about proper cage enrichment. When you purchase from My Manzanita,across the United States you’re not just buying a product—you’re joining a community dedicated to improving the lives of pets through responsible, sustainable choices.
