when we moved across town we had the truck packed real high and put a stuffed dog 5ft doog won at fair in a lawn chair while driving down the road fred and chair fell out so i turned around to get him to see people everywhere i guess they thought it was a person because fred had clothes on.
here is what i have made for my parrots i buy wood blocks pine,birch or cut our own we then get containers or pans and make up unsweeten kool aid pretty colors to color the wood its non toxic. soak the wood for approx 20 minutes each to get darker colors we drill holes and get a wire coat...
my uncle made some similar to these but he used the metal roofing tin on top that keeps the hens from roosting on the roof area and his was hinged i believe he outlined the roof in 1x2 and added the tin up there
