In this pic you can see the shower curtain. I throw it in the washer to clean it. I also like the idea that I can get different backgrounds if I really get motivated and get another couple of shower curtains.

I wonder if fabric would work well for them? Machine washable, and you can play with different colors and patterns. Hmmm, might dust off the sewing machine and try it one day. :)
Shower curtain? Why didn't I think of that. I even have the same one in your picture.

I got some plastic coated paper from the pet store it is about 19" wide that has a nature scene on it. It is sold to go on the backs of fish tanks. The 1 I chose, there are several, looks like a jungle. I just cover the bottom half of the cages. James

You can buy shower curtains from the Dollar Store. Put coffee hooks on the wall to hold the shower curtains. I thought of this after I did the following..DUH

Bought 45" clear vinyl from Wal-Mart in the fabric dept.
Cut into 6' lenths.
Stapled the top of the vinyl to a 6' piece of 1 x 2 pine
Nailed the 1 x 2 pine 6' off the floor on to the wall.
Looks like natural wood trim.
Happy Birding......<><

fabric is ok to use in that situation but if the birds spot any loose threads poking out they will do the best to get it & use it for nesting material.
