If you're looking for evil T-Stands, I'm your girl!

[MomtoPercy]

Remember I was going to make a T-Stand for Percy using an old standing lamp as a base?

Well, I attached a bamboo perch to the top of it and apparently in the process imbued it with all manner of evil, bird killing voodoo :54: Master Percy wanted (and still wants) nothing to do with it. He pretends to have a stroke or an attack of vapours if he just sees it! I've taken off the wrapping I had around the centre piece, thinking that was maybe the scary bit, but no luck. I've left it standing close to his cage for two weeks thinking he would get used to it, but no siree, he haaaates it!

So, today I stood it right next to his cage and made a huge fuss of the "ever so fancy" wrapping/beady bit in the centre which I attached while he peeked out from behind his hidey toy (the main purpose of this bit is just to hide the part where I attached the bamboo to the stand with a hot glue gun because I don't want him biting it). Eventually, he came out of hiding and started checking it out more closely.

After he went to bed, I made two toys using his favourtist things and attached them to the ends of the perch. Let's see what tomorrow brings...

Cute =) but gee easy on the cocaine! I hope he doesn't get it all at once!
That pic makes him look so little =)

 

[MomtoPercy]

Sorry for all the typos in my previous post!! I'm trying to get used to new 'reading specs' but it is not going well...obviously

LOL at Freespin! He tried to get to the cocaine before he decided the perch was scary again and demanded to be picked up

Great job! I am glad he is coming around.

Percy is beautiful on his new stand! Nice job! When my U2 gets a tree nut he puts it it down, and puts his face next to it and clacks his beak at it before cracking it. He has a cocaine habit too! Oh dear!

Wow, what a very cool stand. Percy is total cutey pie...

LOL!! Maybe we should develop a 12 step program for our babies?

So happy that Percy has conquered the evil stand! In no time at all he will not come off there at all. That stand turned out awesome, btw!
