I've been toying with the idea of making a new perch from left-over bits of wood.... and here it is! My square-based pyramid :D And the girls obliged when the camera came out (I know photos are compulsory!):

Thankfully, Mr Frutti has lots of electric saws/drills etc which made an easy job of it! It's just a square base, four diagonal uprights and then four horizontals, finished off with a final sanding.

 

OK I admit it, I had to hook a feeder in the middle with corn to get them to use it. But I had 75% success (Roxy was the only one who's ignored it so far - madam!).

Thank you ladies! But oh dear, I've changed it already! :lol:

 

Yesterday, I had to bribe them (with corn in that mini feeder) to use it whereas I want them to clamber on it and perch because they WANT to, not because I want them too :lol:

 

So today, one of the horizontal perches came off and has been replaced with a long branch higher up so they can perch easily with nothing in their way. Works a treat and even Roxy was posing on it this afternoon, one foot on the new branch and the other on the top :lol: (photos will come tomorrow as I've nearly finished the run at long last :dance::dance: ).

 

I don't have any more wood left (it used up ALL my offcuts from the run, which had been under the garden bench since November :oops: ) otherwise I'd make you all one each ;)

 

But I can give you instructions! All you need is woods, screws, an electric mitre saw, electric drill, electric sander, and too much time on your hands :lol:
