I posted some such idea on the toheat/not to heat thread that was running on the main page for a while; no one answered! I had thought of running that heat tape you use on trailer pipes to keep the water from freezing...........run a pipe with the tape wrapped on it through a bigger pvc pipe. Coat the pvc in glue and roll in sand, (that's similar to what they make cage bird sand perches out of)...................Use the end caps in a way that could come off if needed, (Never know if you will need to replace the heat tape or check the fuse in it) put a screw or notch in it to keep the perch from rolling, mount, and run the cord up the wall with some of that stripping that you put over cords to keep from tripping on them (to keep the birds from pecking.............)
) I also have a book for you if you don't own it already! I cleaned my bookshelf and i have "backyard farming by terry bridge" Nice new book, but i don't own land so i can't do much of it. (It has a brief bit about bees too!)
