Table - Top Stand

[Perch]

I made a simple window perch above my kitchen sink using a two foot dowel, heavy twine which Gracie likes to chew, and eye hooks mounted between the cabinets. It is a practical play for her to hang out, especially since I only have to rinse the sink when she has a bombs-away episode.

 

This table top perch however, is the thing that saved a couple of bucks. Is is made from one piece of 1X4 pine 6 feet long. Cut two 16 inch uprights, fasten to two 12 inch feet, and screw two dowels in between to stand it up. I found a metal dish at the pet store, 7.99 and attached it to one side. This is perfect for toys and treats. I don't know if you can see it, but I wrapped a piece of 120 grit sand paper to the top rail for Gracie to clean her beak on. Total cost under $20.

I couldn't get the table top perch in the first post...

 

 

I just put some news paper under it and move it wherever we are hanging out. Like right now, next to my lap-top!

How clever you are and Gracie is so lucky to have someone who is so handy at making things for her, thanks for sharing them with us.
