Question Wall Saver

Right now I'm using the cage cover (sheet) to protect the walls from poops, flying cherry morsels, etc. I'm going to get a real cage cover asap, but I want to take it off during the day and still keep debris off the walls. The cage is located in a corner. Can anyone recommend a hanging for this purpose, or do I need to visit the craft store? I saw the Avian Backgrounds, but I think they are intended for inside the cage, which would keep him from climbing around, which he loves of course.

Shower curtains work nicely (outside the cage and well aired first)

Interesting. I'd still need to modify it to hang on the wall, and find some nice looking shower curtains.

You can find clear heavy vinyl shower curtains.. and I just thumb tack to the wall....

Just air and wipe down with vinegar and water before use....

I use one of those afgan look-alike throw blankets you can find decently cheaply. I nailed it up to the wall and under the cage (my cage is on an attached table/wall deal) and when it gets bad, I take down, wash, rinse, repeat.

I use clear self adhesive shelf paper.

If you look to the right of the cage you can see it on the wall....works great.

Gayla - I love Pita's new cage and how it's set up!

You all are encouraging me to go buy something to tack to my walls this weekend after I scrub them down!
