Re: Handmade bendable rope perches and boings

I love Robin's new sisal boing Shirre! The turquoise and lime really go well with Robin's body colors lol :).

He was unsure of it since the appearance is much different from his last boing. When I set him on it, it looks like he approves!

I hung his atom toy and chains with smaller toys on it inside the boing like the old set up, so he should take to it in no time :D. Thanks again!

Re: Handmade bendable rope perches and boings

Look at that handsome little guy! The colors do go really well with him!

Hanging upside down from it, must mean his Majesty approves?? lol

And I love how you have it set up! Looks like a fun hang out spot for Robin!

Re: Handmade bendable rope perches and boings

I just wanted to share some of the rope perches I've made so far...all of these I hand dye, some of them have little hand painted (with food dye) decals, but they've been pretty fun to make! [emoji41]

This one reminds me of a tennis ball lol


Very grapey lol


This one has tiny hand-painted hearts


A different one, but it also has hand-painted hearts


These ones were my first splatter-effect versions~ I had so much making them!


And more splatter-effects; a matching set of three- all different types of perches




This one was big (1.5" x 3ft long) and a beautiful blue


Another beautiful blue one

Re: Handmade bendable, swaying and hanging rope perches

Shirre,

Have you given any thought to making some two ring orbits?

I may know someone that would be interested.:54::54:

And with my Destruct-o-beaks you could have lots of repeat business. lol

I could certainly give it a shot!! What rope diameter are you wanting it made out of? And cotton or Manila? How big?

Re: Handmade bendable, swaying and hanging rope perches

I would think if you made a circle with your arms, that would be about right for a macaw or two to play on???

1" or even 1 1/2" Cotton or Manilla no matter.

PM with price when you get around to it, I'm not in a rush. I will get some boings regardless when I get home, beginning of the month

Ponder on it and let me know. It might open another market for ya!!

Lol!! You know this will be quite the large package to ship, right??

1" Manila will be cheaper/more cost effective for your pocket since you've got destructo-beaks....

I'll let you know a price though once I get it all figured out -thanks for the idea! [emoji41]

Feel free to pm me when you're ready to order those boings! [emoji4]

Re: Handmade bendable, swaying and hanging rope perches

I'm interested in a larger "Orbit" as well, probably 3/4" or 1" for my U2, if you're still making them!
