Yes, edible perches do exist, although they are fairly
new. They are exactly what the name
suggests - perches that your bird can chew and eat. They are a good way for your bird to obtain
valuable nutrients into their diets.
Here a few examples of good quality edible bird perches:

I found you a very informative video tutorial on making your
own bird perches - I hope you find it helpful.
Heated perches are
great for providing your bird with great circulation for their feet. They are highly recommended for exotic
birds. Most heated perches are
controlled using a thermostat and are most commonly made from a scratch and
bite resistant non-toxic plastic.

I recommend getting
at least one medium-sized natural wood perch, one rope perch (again medium
size), and one other type of perch - maybe a therapeutic perch or a second
natural wood perch. Here are some good
examples for your Parakeet.
Manzanita perches are natural wood perches. I would highly recommend this type of bird
perch. The uneven surfaces of the Manzanita
perch mimic your bird's natural environment.
They are also great for building strong feet and leg muscles.
Here are a few sites to look at in regards to Manzanita
perches.
