Attention Debbie276 & others who like hippie beads

Today I spruced up the decor of 2 cages with beads; hopefully this will keep my wild little birds from flying out the doors.

How did you attach the beads? Interesting method! :)

On the 2 shown, I had cut the plastic thing in half that originally held the beads in place & used that in each door.
For the other ones, I had a thin strip of plastic which I glued the beads to.
It really works :!: I think it keeps the birds back from the door & it's easy to put your hands through the beads with food & water dishes.
Seems to be the best idea I've had. I love it =D> 8)
