Tachyon needs a play-stand so he can be set up beside my desk where I sit all day; the idea being that whilst im staring at my computer screen, he will think im actually staring at him all day and not paying attention to that boring work stuff that takes my gaze away from his pretty, pretty feathers!
We've got very little money for anything we cant make ourselves so anything like this will have to be made by me. Handily enough, im a pack-rat so I already had on hand: a tall metal pole, a heavy base board, two blocks of timber, a few strips of thin board to use at the newspaper shelf (aka, poo-catcher), some spare willow branches that I could cut down into perches, and a little bit of vet-wrap.
I drilled holes in the pipe and screwed threw them into the perches, I then wrapped this join with a little vet-wrap for extra security. The white pole will be fully wrapped/ out of licking range next week when some more vet-wrap arrives and I can wrap it top to bottom.
The wooden platform under the perches will have newspaper stretched across it for easy changing/cleaning.
Ill post more pictures next week when its finished and bird-safe
