So I worked hard on this play stand for Princess. I went to my parents place braved being in the bulls pasture, cut down grape vines, brought them home, stripped bark, soaked and scrubbed them clean, then painstakingly rearranged them a thousand times until it looked the way I wanted it too look and then viola done (kind of it still needs a base).
Two problems and one plus: Plus - it has a very artistic feel and I'm surprised how good it came out. Problems - 1: Its slightly to small for Romeo, would fit a medium bird better. 2: She is absolutely terrified of it.
Okay now to the cute part that made all of this work worth it. I put her on it and she did her 'I'm really nervous going to bob side to side move.' To which I said fine be nervous, I worked hard on this and your going to like it. To that she lifted up her foot, I still ignored, she bob a few more times then lifted her foot up again, to which I still ignored and held strong, then she bobbed lifted her foot and said step up :52:, I could no longer ignore and caved- I put my arm out and she stepped up on it and as she was doing so she said step up again. I think she just took me to school and taught me the basics, she had to work with me a little bit but in the end I caught on :11:. May not have gotten an A but I still passed. As far as the stand guess I'll just add the base and put it on craigs list.
