Cutest Bird Ever!!!
I recently started working at my local lumber and hardware store, so I started paying attention when they culled wonky pieces of lumber. Found myself some 8 foot untreated furring strips (2"x2") of white pine for 70% off, meaning I paid a grand total of $1 for 16 feet of wood. I cut them down into smaller chunks about 3 feet each, and just hung this up in the bird room today:
Nothing fancy, but cheap! Basically just put some eyescrews into the wood and ceiling, connected it to the ceiling with plastic chain and quicklinks for easy change out when this is inevitably chewed down, and added a toy to play with as well. I'll see tomorrow how the boys like it, since I put it up too close to bed time to test it out.
Should be fun to see how they do with the new swinging motion. Everything else they have hangs from a center point, they haven't dealt with something with two connections!
