I get the sweetfeet perches at ABBA but I would assume you can get them in any specialized bird store - and I know for a fact they sell them online (see this:

I can use my hands with some birds but not all (all my birds are rehomes and some are not people friendly) but I mostly use the dowels because they are very long (I have four that are 3 ft long) and it allows my to reach birds that are perching up high (the top of the kitchen cabinets, the curtain rods, the top of the highest canary cage, etc) or to reach into the kitchen from the dining room without opening the gate that separates them.
