As some of you may remember, I had a "little" problem with Niko constantly opening and removing his food doors and dishes. Well, it didn't take Ripley long to learn how to open his food doors, even though it's an entirely different mechanism than Niko's. :11: Monkey see - monkey do.
Here was my dilemma for those who haven't seen it: http://www.parrotforums.com/macaws/34640-living-houdini.html
I ordered those metal disks on eBay, but when they arrived I quickly realized there was no way I was able to use them. They were just a wee bit oversized:
Then my little Engineer in the making (my son Mark) came up with a BRILLIANT idea. He went to Lowe's, bought this long stick of metal, cut it, drilled holes, he got ALL the hardware, and he even installed his contraption for me....on BOTH cages.
Now how can innocent faces like these be so clever and ornery?
And yes, those contraptions work GREAT. Niko's been quite frustrated at his now inability to toss stuff out. :09:
The pictures of the contraption didn't come out well - I'll try and take some better ones.
