Cool Parrot Stand on Wheels - DIY

[Shirley]

Dr. Cook's husband made this stand for her clinic for Merlin or other parrots to sit on as they visit the clinic.

He bent the PVC pipe with hot tap water. The materials cost about $40.00.

He used large PVC endcaps for the food/water holders, which Dr. Cook just places dessert dishes in. She doesn't use the wingnut screw-on parrot food/water cups.

The base is a formica sink cut-out from a hardware store such as Home Depot or Lowes, with castor wheels attached.

Skyler is our Stand model!

Note the wood dowel rod for perching between the food/water cups.

Cool! I was planning something similiar. This gives me more ideas. PVC is something I have LOTS of experience with. ;)
