Please HELP... Colored wrap?

On alot of pics I see some of you with PVC pipe perches and such. I notice this wrap that resembles some type of ace bandage that seems to come in fun fashioned colors. What is it exactly and where can I get some? My Miligold will be coming out of quarentine in a few weeks and the hubby is making a perch/play-stand for him today as well as a Hoop Ball thanks to all of you who helped provide me with the instructions, the Hoop Ball is almost finished and coming along beautifully. Gotta have this wrap stuff, please help.

I gotta find me some. We dont have an L&M store. Thank You! I called and the bird store up the street carries it (I never noticed). My Yellow Collared is special needs and she slides and we have tried almost evey type/size perch possible. She only has one digit on each foot that goes back, the inner digits stick up (constrictor toe... I believe its called) anyway I am praying this will help her "stay" perched without sliding. Thanks so much again for your help.

I know they have it at the PetSmart here, but it's expensive. They usually have it at local feed stores, and you can always order on line. It's much cheaper online than at PetSmart...like $2 a roll cheaper!

I got mine at an Agway store for food, plants, and other stuff. It was $1.99 and did come in several colors. I'm going to wrap the Atom ball and some playgym perches with it. I was also going to get the Horse jolly ball, but they said it was easy to tear up by parrots because of the material it's made of. Anyone know of a sturdier horse jolly ball?

Yep, the farm store is the cheapest place to get it. Just look in the horse section!
