DIY Rope Perch

[@truthseeker1328]

Looks like a great project to do with kids. They get to participate in fun activities, learn the value of work, being frugal and creativity while making new things for their pets. Most certainly a wonderful way to reconnect and bond with the kiddies. Thanks for sharing and you did a great job explaining everything.

What gauge is the wire you you are using in the video?

[@tortols1548]

Thank youuu I made two rope perches for my cockatiel but because the rope was thin I hat to wrap both of the ropes around but it’s fine my cockatiel LOVED it he even sleeps on it.

[@kmcrafts9400]

Combining two roles is an awesome idea, I'm glad your cockatiel loves it!

[@tortols1548]

@@kmcrafts9400 Yeah I figured that wrapping both of the ropes would help because he would kinda fall with just one thin rope

[@tortols1548]

@@kmcrafts9400 I just can’t thank you enough it’s way cheaper making my own rope perches I only spent $3 on the materials rather than buying a 15 dollar perch

[@marysleepysea8904]

this helps alot thx, i spent 1.50 a perch! im getting my birds on the 23rd :)

[@kmcrafts9400]

That is an awesome price point! I'm glad it helped. Congrats on the new birds, what kind are they?

[@marysleepysea8904]

two parakeetes from a friend

[@kmcrafts9400]

Aww, parakeets are wonderful.

All the best and congratulations! !

Hi, I would hot glue the pvc caps since my birds aren't chewers. Great presentation! Ty!

[@Eentrip]

Super cool!! I'd much rather make one and have fun than spend so much money on one from a pet store.. thanks!!! ^^

[@kmcrafts9400]

I'm glad you like it, they are so easy to make and fantastic enrichment for your birds!🐦

[@harigarikina4055]

Very nice il try that!

[@lolu4487]

Thank you for making this video, it's extremely helpful, easy and fun to do. ❤

[@sarpertas3590]

where did you get the rope? thats the most expensive part in the perch i didnt see anything close to that rope

[@subhrapc]

Yes, very good idea to make one rather than buying from store... thanx

Wow this was really helpful thank you soo mu ch

[@demeaningplebny1363]

Nice video! I'm looking at this because the rope perches I had been buying have more than doubled in price and I refuse to pay it. Stainless steel wire would be best. (NOT stranded cable. Solid wire!) Galvanized wire is coated with zinc which can flake. You absolutely would not want your bird ingesting flakes of metal as this can be a big problem.

[@nafowler]

Mentioning the size and type of wire would help. Even just the one you have.

[@ryanwalley5560]

OK so where did you find a dog rope toy that was 3' long for under $3 I'm only asking because I would like to know so I can buy one, Yes they have them at the dollar store but they're not that long

[@kmcrafts9400]

I got this one at Wal-Mart, there were knots along it and when I untied them there was a lot of !ength.

[@tortols1548]

Where I live dollar tree has them but it’s only one foot I think

[@smollpotato]

Can you do this with hemp or jute rope?

[@alexp7842]

Yeth

[@SRHisnum1]

Awesome

[@hi-yq5tb]

Is there another way to attach the perch to the cage other then wrapping wire? I know some birds will try to chew the wire if it's wrapped around the bars. Like you know how branches have the twisty thingy? (lmao) but I need something like that but for this perch. Sorry if this is confusing.

[@kellykelly1053]

Maybe when you put the cap on put a screw in it through the hole and use a washer and nut on the bars of the cage to hold it on.

[@smiletime]

Thank You! This is a a super helpful tutorial! I wonder if there is a way to get the end caps with threaded ends that can be placed over or through bars and attached to the cage via screw cap. I'll have to do some hunting. Meanwhile, I have a bunch of old perches to fix now. My amazon loves to tear apart the strings on these and pull them out of the endcap. ::eyeroll emoji::

[@GOBIAS.INDUSTRIES.]

Not sure if you're still looking, but I was wondering the same thing - found out that PVC pipe caps from Lowes are PERFECT! They come in all sizes and you can drill holes for clamps or hooks super easy 👍🏽

[@runningoninsulin9053]

Where do you buy the wire?

[@kmcrafts9400]

This wire I bought at lowes, most hardware stores will carry a heavy wire. The hardest thing was making sure it was something I could bend with my hands. 👍 hope this helps.
