Hello,

I posted this on Grey Chat and Cockatoo chat and received several positive emails, thank you. It was suggested to me that I post this on the other chats as well so that I reach more people.

You know how there are luxury cages out there that have a skirt/seed guard that go around the perimeter of the base of the cage? Well, when the door to the cage is open, the existing skirts don't extend out enough to cover the width of the door...and so for YEARS now I have been placing newspaper and mats underneath my cages to protect the floor from poop and debris. I have 4 parrots and man, they can make a mess! So I designed and patented a “Door Skirt”. It is an easy-to-mount, removable and positionable skirt that is powder-coated to match various colors of cages and comes with a removable disposable liner. For months now I have not had to clean up any messy paper from underneath my cages. It has been AWESOME.

The combination of a “lipped” bracket and slotted skirt design allow you to be able to slide the skirt left or right so that you can open and close your cage door without interference. You can mount them at the base of the cage door or toward the top so that poop does not get caught and collected on the doors handle/latch. They will fit most all luxury style cages (like CA Cages or Avian Adventure cages, Prevue, etc….the wrought iron/barred cages (not mesh or lighter-weight cages of plastic material).

My website will be up within a week (maybe two) and I have an ad coming out in Bird Talk magazine within the next several weeks. Right now I am just seeking some feed back from other parrot owners before I totally go all out with advertising and manufacturing. When I am 100% ready I will be posting in the UpAtSix Advertising section. Custom orders will be welcome.

Attached are a couple of pictures. Some are not powder-coated yet and you will notice that in some of the pictures the skirt looks bigger than in other pictures. That was my original design...I have since made them more slim. They can be taken right off the cage (but don't have to be as you could just take out the liner and put a new one in) - and actually, I am still working on the liner.....right now I am just using paper towels but am waiting confirmation on an appropriate liner design. Please share your thoughts! So far all the stores and other parrot owners that I have shown them to locally just LOVE them and are anxiously waiting availability of them. I actually have samples ready now (well, except for the liner…you have to use paper towels or something similar for the moment). I would very much like to hear your opinion and suggestions (pos or neg) please email me at: cash59@msn.com Thank you!
