Bird Perch

Hello Everyone,
I like to take my two tiels to the rooms that I will be in doing my daily things, like house work etc. At the pet store there were some nice low perch stands for $20.00 dollars. Times two $40.00 dollars. Since Christmas is coming money is tight,so I decided to make my own. I went to WalMart and bought two toilet paper holders, the kind you mount on the wall. I took vet wrap and wrapped the part where the toilet paper goes on and around the posts. Now I have two perches that both of my babies can be with me for less than half the price. (total for two was $14.83) I will try and post some pictures. They are a metal, and sturdy enough for the weight of my teils.

What an awesome idea! Don't think it will work for my TAG but when I get my next FID a Quaker it would work!

That's cool. It's just like a Polly Stand. To bad my birds are scared of vet wrap.

This is such a neat idea :) I love it
Perhaps a paper towel one would work for the larger birds :)
