A decorative simulated tree branch system for small animal enclosures made from thermoplastic. The branch is non-toxic, non-leaching, mite and contamination proof, washable, and waterproof, and a realistic representation of a natural tree branch or piece of drift wood. It is formed from a branch base portion and progressively smaller tributary segments which are approximately cylindrical in shape, and may taper as they extend toward the outer ends, as is the case with a natural branch. One preferred embodiment is well suited as a decorative ornament in fish tanks. A second preferred embodiment adapts the present invention for use as a natural looking perch in bird cages. A universal clip, capable of securely attaching the simulated branch to any type of bird cage bar may be provided with the bird perch embodiment.

A simulated tree branch comprising a base portion, and a plurality of progressively smaller tributary segments which divide in a branching manner therefrom, both the base portion and tributary segments having a shape which is approximately cylindrical, variable within the limits of representing real tree material, and the base portion and tributary segments having a plurality of natural tree features molded therein which simulate real tree material, wherein the natural tree features are selected from at least one member of the following group consisting of, subtributary segments, bends, twists, knot markings, bark texture, points, lumps, holes, bud and leaf scars, bud tips at the end of a twig, broken nubs, areas of surface decomposition, erosion lines, broken ends, and a taper as the tributary segments extend toward the outer ends, said branch being made from non-toxic, non-leaching, waterproof, mite and contamination proof, washable thermoplastic material, and a means formed on one end of the branch, for removably attaching the simulated tree branch to bars of a bird cage, so that the attaching means can support the weight of at least one bird, wherein the means formed on one end of the branch, for removably attaching the simulated tree branch to the bars of a bird cage, comprises a “T”shaped projection extending from a back end of the base portion of the simulated branch, the “T”shaped projection having a post which is attached at one end thereof to the back end of the base portion of the simulated branch and a “T”top attached to an opposite end of the post perpendicular thereto, and two removably engagable flattened clip pieces, the flattened clip pieces having a cutout channel of sufficient size to fit over the post of the “T”and having a sufficient depth so that they may be securely wedged between the top of the “T”, and the back end of the base portion of the simulated branch, with bars of a bird cage sandwiched therebetween.
