Lovelylew Posted June 21, 2008 Posted June 21, 2008 I thought I'd share a picture of Obi playing with her favorite toy, a clothes pin - lol I bought a bag of clothes pins from the Dollar Store and shoved them into a whiffle ball. Obi has had so much fun with these clothes pins. I stick them in her cage on other toys, and it keeps her busy, having tons of fun.
Lovelylew Posted June 21, 2008 Author Posted June 21, 2008 Guess my pictures didn't upload, darn it! I guess I don't know how to do it properly, sorry.
Lovelylew Posted June 21, 2008 Author Posted June 21, 2008 Oh well, I'll try and come back later to see if I can upload the pictures. Sorry for the blank posts, but I need to get back to work now.
danmcq Posted June 21, 2008 Posted June 21, 2008 Thats a GreYt paly toy idea Lovelylew! Looking forward to seeing the photo when you get it soretd out. :-)
Tycos_mom Posted June 21, 2008 Posted June 21, 2008 Try opening an account on photobucket.com then download your pictures there first click on the picture you want to place here and it will open and there will be a url beside it copy and paste here works everytime
Lovelylew Posted June 22, 2008 Author Posted June 22, 2008 Trying another one. Hope this one works too.
judygram Posted June 22, 2008 Posted June 22, 2008 Yeah finally you succeeded in sharing some pics with us and she is enjoying those pins, thanks for sharing them with us. I have that same exact playstand;)
Tycos_mom Posted June 22, 2008 Posted June 22, 2008 I knew you could do it. Those are great clothes pins I'll have to see if I can find some like that for my birds I'm sure that Tyco would just love them she is a total nut for foot toys I'm always trying to find new thing that she can pick up and toss around she basicly ignores her hanging toys. If she was human I'm sure she would make a great baseball pitcher she throws a great curve. I try to play catch with her but no matter how hard I try to catch her throws she finds a way to throw it so I have to pickit up off the ground she love to see me work for it.:woohoo:
Laurie Posted June 22, 2008 Posted June 22, 2008 Aw how cute! I will have to remember the clothes pin idea. I bet Klaus would love 'em!
Lovelylew Posted June 22, 2008 Author Posted June 22, 2008 She had so much fun with these clothes pins. I took a couple of them and stuck them in other toys for a different twist, making some of them more difficult to remove. I'm telling you, she had a ball. I wanted to give her something different to do, and this truly did the trick. Judy, I remember a while back when you stated how sturdy the playstand was, and I ordered it. I've been real happy with it, and it cleans up nicely too!<br><br>Post edited by: Lovelylew, at: 2008/06/22 01:13
slmclean Posted June 22, 2008 Posted June 22, 2008 where did you get that playstand at? i bet chloe would love it and i'm going to look for those clothes pins to she would love them i bet.
Nychsa Posted June 22, 2008 Posted June 22, 2008 Nice pictures! He sure looks like he's enjoying those clothes pin Thanks for sharing!
Lovelylew Posted June 22, 2008 Author Posted June 22, 2008 slmclean, I ordered it from Bird.com. I have enclosed the link below. I'm happy with it. The only thing is the perches seem a little slippery. I may order some vet tape to wrap around them. Otherwise, it's a very nice playstand. Hope this info helps. http://www.bird.com/itemdy00.asp?T1=502185
Lovelylew Posted June 22, 2008 Author Posted June 22, 2008 You're welcome. Let me know if you order and how you like it! By the way, welcome to for the forum!
judygram Posted June 22, 2008 Posted June 22, 2008 I have noticed the same thing Lovelylew that the perches can be a little slippery, I just ordered some of that vet wrap in different colors to use for another project but I may use your suggestion and wrap the perches with some of the wrap to help with the slippery issue, thanks for the idea. B)
Lovelylew Posted June 22, 2008 Author Posted June 22, 2008 Judy, you're welcome. I noticed my playstand came with 4 perches that climb to the top. In the link I sent, I noticed the picture had 6 perches. Just curious how many perches yours came with? Where did you get your vet tape? Thanks, Judy!
slmclean Posted June 22, 2008 Posted June 22, 2008 yeah i think i'm going to order that playstand i know i can get the tape from a store here that sells vet supplies for cows and that.
pynkzephyr Posted January 13, 2009 Posted January 13, 2009 sorry bout dragging up an older thread, but...... those clothespins are a wonderful toy idea. If I may ask, what is the vet tape/vet wrap you are referring to? Is it possible that it is the nonadhesive yet self adhering wrap used to dress horse's legs and to bandage other fur babys with? thanks for all the great advice and help pynk

Would the ones with metal be unsafe.? Wouoldnt the wood in them be treated against the weather??
casper Posted January 14, 2009 Posted January 14, 2009 No you can get them without metal and untreated. They are the old fashioned dolly pegs. Good thing to point out though so no one does buy the metal ones:)
