Perch Posted November 26, 2008 Share Posted November 26, 2008 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.

Perch Posted November 26, 2008 Author Share Posted November 26, 2008 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! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toni Posted December 8, 2008 Share Posted December 8, 2008 I showed this in another post but Im placing it in here so it will be easier to find. Another place to find bird toy parts would be on Ebay.I found some good deals on parts and made this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
