Snuggly hide away... thing.

I made Tiko a new hiding place


Heres what I used:

A Cirlcey pine circular... thing, and a ss eye hook


Some small green chain purchased at Omar's (the bird store)


Some colorful (100% cotton) flannel (I think) fabric


And some rings and bells (not shown)


...

This is it part way done

...

And this is it FINISHED


Tiko LOVES it, and it cost me about $10, but I still have a ton of fabric left over and I made on for bella (so a little less than $10 for both i guess)


Just wanted to show it off

Very cute idea! How did you attach the fabric to the wood? Non toxic glue?

Thats a really cool idea. I might have to do something like that for my female caique, she loves flannel and loves to hide under toys in her cage.

I used a staple gun. there is a fold in the fabric over it, so they can't pull them out.
