Do these fixings exist and if so what are they called?

Hi there

I'm looking to make some perches for my parrot from natural tree branches and want to track down the following type of fixing:

The fixing needs a (wood) screw thread on one end and a nut thread on the other so that I can screw the wood thread into the branch and then secure the branch to the cage with a washer and wing nut on the other thread.

I've trawled through screwfix's website but not knowing if they exist and what they would be called is making it difficult!
 
OK - I think what I'm after is a Hanger Bolt...now I just need to find somewhere to buy them as Toolstation and screwfix are coming up blank...
