Posted August 23, 200519 yr Made a swing for Cha Pou Nothing difficult, just happy at the outcome Cha Pou is hiding behind the toy when I use flash Its funny when she tries to hide behind a pole or something that is much smaller than her.
August 23, 200519 yr potter im impressed! and look at that proud budgie - just bursting with pride for his owner. Edited August 23, 200519 yr by budgeover
August 24, 200519 yr That looks really good! Almost like what you see in pet shops! Hehe...she looks so cute hiding there.
August 24, 200519 yr thats great !!! has she been swining on it yet ??? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> She has been swinging on it from the minute I put it in Silly Cha Pou And chewing on the bark too..its from apple tree and I didn't take the bark out as I know she will enjoy chewing it off. Right now her toy is either the swing or my laptop and the candy pack by the laptop
August 24, 200519 yr Wow that swing is great, how long did it take you to make it? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Just 15 minutes. Its really easy. All you need is rope, I chose jute rope, a pack of colourful beads, a drill and 2 thick branch (depending on how thick you want the perch to be). Clean the branches thoroughly and dry them before you start. I didn't use disinfectant. I just pour boiling water and soak it in the boiling water. I figure that would be safer than to use disinfectant. Then ta-da...you drill a hole at the two ends of each branch. Put the rope through the hole and a bead for the underside followed by knots for both sides of the bottom perch then thread all the beads in for the length that you want and put in the top perch. Ta-da-da done!
August 24, 200519 yr Even better, this costs less than a dollar as I bought all the stuffs from the dollar store and you don't use all of them. I know you can buy swings in pet stores but I figure I will have all the fun making it plus leaving the bark on for her to strip and chew why not?
August 24, 200519 yr Cool, I'll see if I can make one as good as yours.(probably won't though) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I bet you will Good luck. Post a picture when you are done Your budgie will enjoy it.
August 24, 200519 yr Who Sparky? He doesn't enjoy anything I do for him! <{POST_SNAPBACK}> He doesn't? Naughty Sparky :devil: Let Cha Pou wash his brain on this matter. Tee-hee.
