SemisH Posted December 7, 2011 Posted December 7, 2011 Hi, I just made my first PVC stand and I am not sure what I can use to wrap this stand. ( sisal , cotton?) Can some one help ?
birdhouse Posted December 7, 2011 Posted December 7, 2011 Cotton frays & the threads can become dangerous. The bird can catch in the loose threads. Hemp & sisal are better alternatives because the strands are more "brittle" & break more easily. But it can be challenging to find oil & pesticide free rolls. You'd want to look for something specifically labeled as bird safe. Vet wrap is an easily accessible solution. It's easy to work with & you even get a choice of colors.
Luvparrots Posted December 7, 2011 Posted December 7, 2011 I have a homemade stand that I have covered with sisal rope. It works for my three.
Barbara2 Posted December 7, 2011 Posted December 7, 2011 I used the vet wrap for mine. (It's also known as co-flex if you want to do a google search.) I bought mine from my bird's breeder.
SemisH Posted December 8, 2011 Author Posted December 8, 2011 (edited) Thank you , can I ask you where did you purchased this sisal rope ? I found some in Home depot but not sure if this one is safe for bird. Edited December 8, 2011 by SemisH
