Can anyone help me find a table top perch like this one?

They have been out of stock for months now and do not return my emails.

I haven't seen any like that one, but you could go to HomeDepot and buy a
few pieces of PVC pipe and a piece of wood to bolt them to and make your
own variant of it easily enough.

Why are you suggesting to use wood, when the OP made it obvious that they
want one made of acrylic?

I'm only suggesting wood for the base.  for weight.  the perch itself could
be constructed of PVC.

You could try Pet Warehouse, but hell for that price you could make a few of
them. I make the one we use for our Macaw. For the base I use the bottom of
a 30 quart "Under Bed box". They run a few bucks. I use a wood stand made
out of some 1X3 pine and a piece of closet rod. Across the front I add a T
with a piece of 1X2 firing strip. I drill a hole in the bottom of the stand
to run a bolt and wing nut through the stand and tray so he can't tip it
over. When we were using it for our Conure only did not have to bother with
the bolt. We line the tray with paper, and when we change it you can also
wash the tray. As The Macaw chews up the stand and tray I just replace them.
Real simple and effective. The Macaw very quickly learned to use the stand
to go potty. If he is with us on the couch he will climb on the stand to go.

Great idea.  Most people who want an easy to clean, nice looking acrylic
stand would probably be happy with one made of wood pieces slapped together.
