far gone on this little Guy.. I do stained glass as a hobby. Well I was looking at some patterns for birds and guess what i found Yep a Cockatiel!!!! I can't wait to go to the glass shop and get the glass to make it!!!! I m going to try to get glass the same colors of Chip. This is so much fun looking for things. I also went to Wal Mart and got beads ,bells buttons and a lot more stuff to make Him some toys. I spent 60.00 on things to make Hubby is going to kill Me for spending so much but I have enough stuff that Chip will be in toys for the next 50 years. LOL well i better get started on the sites to look at for birdie food to make. thanks all

Just a word of caution. I was at the vet's a couple of Saturdays ago & a woman was there visiting her ailing Parrotlet. Her partner was out in the parking lot as I was leaving. He told me that a friend had given her a stained glass sun catcher for Christmas. She had hung it up in a window. The parrotlet nibbled on the lead that holds the pieces together, & now had two paralyzed legs and wasn't expected to live. If there is any lead at all in your glass making supplies, be very careful around your bird!

thank You, I will use the lead free solder to put it together. This very good to know. i use the lead free solder when I make things for My Grandkids so Chip will get the same.

Regardless, make sure you wash your hands and put on a different shirt after doing any kind of art-work (The lead free stuff still has questionable ingredients) I've stopped doing oil painting and switched to arcylics because of my brats!
I'm just paranoid...

I go to a shop where I live so I never do any soldering at Home. I will make sure I wash my hands and change my clothes before I touch my baby.
thank You for Your post. i need all the help I can get to make sure I do things right for Him.
