We are getting ready for the event down in Tucson later this month and we built some BEASTS today!!! The pictures definitely do not do justice but those double doors in the background are 48” wide and 80” tall.

Alright Tucson, you said you wanted some big stuff this time so we made sure to plan accordingly. We have all of the blanks done and the uprights attached, now to make the magic happen and configure all of the cross perches. We will definitely have something for everyone!!! See you on the 18th!!!!!!!

We get asked quite often, “How do you clean your stands?” And honestly, that’s a really good question!

Because of the potential for toxins, we NEVER use chemicals to seal or “waterproof” the natural wood. We do apply a little caulking along the base where the white melamine meets the brown pine. This helps protect the raw edges of the melamine from those occasional little water spills.

So, what do we actually do when our own stands need a good cleaning?

Pretty simple! 😊

We use a basic paint scraper to loosen up any dried-on food and debris, then wipe the melamine down with basic disinfectant wipes.

But over the years, we discovered something that works even better for protecting the bottom of the stand — turf!

Yep… a piece of turf cut to fit the base.

It helps protect the bottom, but more importantly, it gives food and those inevitable little “gifts” 😂 a soft place to land instead of bouncing off the bottom of the stand and onto the floor.

And hey… it adds a nice little splash of color too! 💚

When it’s time to clean, just pull the turf out, spray it off, let it dry, and put it right back down. Easy!

BUT — and this is important — NEVER hose down the stand!

Dry wood + water = 😳💥 DISASTER!!!

These pictures are of one of our 4-year-old stands belonging to Louie, our Rose-Breasted Cockatoo. It was definitely due for a good cleaning, and I happened to have some leftover turf sitting around.

So I gave it a good scraping, cleaned everything up, cut the turf to fit, and this was the final result!

Not bad for a 4-year-old stand! ❤️

So there you have it — this is how we recommend cleaning and protecting one of our stands.

Simple, inexpensive, easy to maintain, and your floor stays a whole lot cleaner too! 😂🦜

Over the years, we have harvested our manzanita in 100 degree weather, rain, snow, thunder and lightning, and we were even stalked by a mountain lion. No, not watched, actually actively stalked. But until today I never felt like I was going to have to take a couple of days off from my full time job. Had this guy not rattled, my next step would have been right on him. He was about 2-3 feet from my foot when he decided to say hello and then went on about his merry little way to the beautiful manzanita I was admiring before we met. Nice meeting you big guy. May our paths never cross again.
