KimKim Posted December 9, 2010 Posted December 9, 2010 I made one from cpvc pipe. I copied from it from http://www.greyforums.net/forums/showthread.php?127511-DIY-Shower-Perch-with-Toy-adaptor Mine is not exactly the same but here it is.
hammco Posted December 11, 2010 Author Posted December 11, 2010 Thanks! Exactly what I wanted to see...goin to get PVC tomorrow.
bigbird519 Posted January 30, 2011 Posted January 30, 2011 i use a monkey tail hung from the cieling. i bought a perch from fosters and smith but it would not stay put. so now it is attached to the sliding glass door down stairs. the beauty of a hanging perch is that i can move it whenever i want to.
judygram Posted February 2, 2011 Posted February 2, 2011 That looks nice Kim, you are very creative, thanks for sharing your handiwork with us.
bran Posted February 2, 2011 Posted February 2, 2011 the perch that we made is almost like the ones in the pictures!! Sometimes you have to be the MacGuyver of the bird world (if you dont want to go broke) lol!! The only thing that we did differently was using colored vet tape it gives them something better to grip http://www.sitstay.com/dog/supplies/servlet/ProductDisplay?langId=-1&storeId=10001&catalogId=10001&productId=39106 I would offer a little advice, get a couple different colors... Dexter does NOT like pink... and will not go near it. Keep an eye on it, when it starts to show signs of an mold or mildew, just remove the tape and start again. Works Great!!
hammco Posted February 3, 2011 Author Posted February 3, 2011 speaking of MacGuyver....I need to post pics of some contraptions I have made for my birds! its amazing how a simple piece(s) of wood and plastic will make a bird curious and happy..........

What is a monkey tail?
bigbird519 Posted February 5, 2011 Posted February 5, 2011 What is a monkey tail? sorry,,,, not sure what the peeps around here call it. lol the rope that hangs from the cieling this is the only decent picture i found of the one i have.
bigbird519 Posted February 5, 2011 Posted February 5, 2011 took a much better photo this morning for you
Guest Posted February 7, 2011 Posted February 7, 2011 My CAG haaaaaaaaaated showers at first. Just keep going with your birdy. Act like it's the most fun thing in the world and little by little I'll bet your birdy will come around. My girl loves-loves-loves her shower now and absolutely hated it at first. She comes out now absolutely soaked to the skin and happy as can be. She even does the little dance and raises up her feathers so the water can get onto her real well. Good luck - hope your Timmy is happy in the water soon.
BirdsAreGrey8 Posted February 20, 2011 Posted February 20, 2011 The monkey tail is also known as a boing, FYI.
