Neck perches by Henpecked (Capt)

I found out those pictures of perches *somewhere* and I hope that our Henpecked will be so kind and tell us how he made them and how useful they are

I LOVE LOVE LOVE them they allow me to do just about anything, dishes, laundry, computer. We also use them in the car. Jake knows when Richard puts one on and asks "you wanna go?" that she is going to town. For me they are also handy for teaching the baby birds to want to be with people. You can even bend down without the bird losing balance. It also keeps the bird off of your sholder and keeps you being the "big bird". I think we have some car video with Capt and Jake. Jake has learned to put 1 foot on Capt's chest and 1 on the perch in hard curves and stops and starts and that way she is not off balanced

You should start making them, I would order 1 or 2 immediately!

as soon as we get to Fl
Richard will be making them as fast as he can go. We have a few floating out there and the ones that have them use them and like them a lot. TV is great you can have your baby and watch a show so no more demanding your attention. All of the large parrot babies and a couple of cockatiels have gone home with them since he started making them and they are more used than any toy.

ACK!!! I want 3! Right now the babies have to sit on stands nearby if I'm doing stuff. Or it's dedicated baby time, but only one baby at a time. Or it's baby in a carrier that I've been tying to my waist (which I really don't like). While I don't mind birds on the shoulder so long as they're well behaved, I don't want my babies to get into the habit of it before going to their now homes. I can see 3 conures sitting on one of these things!

RICHARD! You're a genius!!

Those are a great idea!! Richard, you seriously need to get making more.

Eating lunch. Typing one handed.

want. LOL

MAGNIFICENT IDEA!! I know a store I can get them into here in Colorado too! Let's talk about this!

How Exciting!!

Oh yeah! I forgot mention... I'd like one or two too!!!

That video was very premeditated torture. I protest! I soooooooooo love it. That was Jake, who make me fall in Amazons

Believe it or not i've had her on that for 12-14 hr car rides.Yes she stresses after dark because she wants to be home in her cage sleeping. But she really does good on it during the day and enjoys being with us .PS at night she gets under my chin and fusses,moving back and forth.

In my mind's eye, I always see Amazons as being giant birds. But Jake doesn't look that big at all.

And your American accent is so funny

Hey Zaz , Jake is the smallest YN Amazon i've ever seen, i have several that weigh twice what jake weighs but she can still kick their butt and run them off.
