Talking New use for magazine subscription cards!

Are you tired of all the subscription cards that fall like snow out of a new magazine? Do you have trash cans overflowing with this problem?? Well fret no more my friends! Seems like our new friend Piper has come up with a solution!!



That's right! They are the new head/back scratchers!! Totally customizable! You can make them pointy so they can get underneath those pesky pinfeathers or you can leave them as is for a whole body experience! Get yours while they last!!

LOL Mine can't wait for the mail each day because they know that some of the junk mail will come their way for immediate disposal. And those subscription cards are just the right size too.

Thanks everyone! We got the blood tests back Monday afternoon & vet says she's in very good health! The only concern he had was Piper's uric acid level was 3.8 is supposed to be in the 4 - 10 range. But nothing else was out of range, so he's not too concerned about any liver or kidney problems. He does want her to come back after we finish the antibiotics for the throat bacteria (we're giving her Baytril). But other than that, she's doing really well! Steps up like a champ, loves to have head & neck scratches, wolf whistles like crazy! Haven't heard her talk yet, but that'll be whenever she's ready. And I do think she's a girl, she's got silver tipped featehrs under her tail, slightly almond shaped eyes; I haven't managed a look under her wings yet but I'll bet she's a girl. we'll prob wait a while to get her DNA'd. Bud's not too sure about her, she's a little bit bigger than he is!!

Boy or Girl, Piper is beautiful!!!

I use those cards with my birds all the time. When I used to work at Sam Goody, I would take them out of the magazines we had in the store. Tristan get really excited when she sees them coming! She can hardly wait. They both enjoy shredding them up. Neither have used them as a back scratch, but that may happen some day!

Business cards are grey't to use too. I'll be up to BP this Friday afternoon. :) Bella's going to be there, so hopefully she'll get to see Uncle Don again.

Marley just shreds 'em and then throws 'em down. He lives to shred paper. It's a gift.
