Did you know that you can potty-train your birdy buddy? I invented a paper towel-holder perch that makes it a breeze! Spending time with my Cockatiel "Yondu" used to be a messy ordeal, now I don't know how I lived without his "Poopy Perch". The paper towel dispenser is so convenient and...

Some potty-training tips:
Place your bird on his Poopy Perch immediately, every time you take him out of the cage. Leave him there until he poops (this could take a while the first couple times, but my 'tiel caught on quickly and does his business quickly). Next, determine your bird's natural pooping frequency, and place him on the perch a minute or two before he would normally go. For Yondu, this was about 10 minutes. Reward him verbally or with a treat every time he poops on the perch and remove him immediately. Your bird can learn to "hold it", and you can gradually increase the pooping intervals as he gets the idea. In time, you won't need to be too concerned about watching the clock as he'll tend to wait for his Poopy Perch time to relieve himself.

]]>It usually takes a while for new items to "catch on", so-to-speak. The cake pop holder log that we added to our inventory last fall was NOT one of those items! I felt it was past time we added another option, so here it is in Aspen wood. Please pardon the fact that we didn't use actual cake pops in the product images.. You get the idea, right?
This Aspen wood is just a bit lighter than the Ash, yet still very solid. We kiln dry these pieces, so the bark is healthy and well-attached.

Here's a little confession: after being asked if I could make a "cake pop log" earlier this year, I responded with "yes". Then I proceeded to ask Google exactly what that meant..
]]>The story ends well; my customer received exactly what she wanted, and this log has now become a hot-ticket item in our shop. Some people request to have it cut into shorter, separate pieces, while most enjoy it in all its chunky glory:
If you're planning a party, perhaps this is just what your treat table needs!

]]>I'm particularly proud of this new item, not only because it turned out just as eye-catching as I imagined it would be, but because it makes excellent use of all of the cutoffs and oddly-shaped pieces of trees that we've been accumulating for years! It's extremely unlikely that we'll ever have to cut down a new tree in order to make one of these. I'm not sure what you call that feeling of resourceful efficiency, but it's a good one. :o)
