suction cups

My mom made a shower perch my birds but we haven't been able to find any suction cups for it. Anybody know of a good place to buy them?

well. i was looking and found few ideas...one being the following site

Suction Cup Hooks - Suction cups attach to any smooth surface and include hooks for hanging.

or you could look at aquarium supply website/or stores. THey will have replacement suction cups and such for aquarium equipment etc...that you could easily use for your shower perch!..:)

hope this helps!

I got mine at ace hardware. You might have to ask them where they are, but I got mine in their bath section.

Just thinking....I bet this will work:
using a dremmel you cut a wide enough slit down the pipe to slide the suction cup nubby into..... after you put the suction cup on you just put an endcap on so it can't slide off again (covers the rough edges too).

I drilled through them and screwed them into the endcap.
