 o
recycled boing

No, it's not some kind of perversion. A boing is a coiled heavy-duty wire, covered with wrapped bird-safe rope, that hangs from the top of a parrot's cage. They play and swing from them, and love ripping them apart. I won't be buying them often for Saylor, as they are about $30 a pop, and he can destroy one, shredding the rope, in just a couple of
weeks. So...I removed it and put a different kind of swing inside. Took the boing outside to the trash and stopped, with the lid to the can up...I unwound what rope was left and threw it away. There's a metal ring permanently affixed to the top and to the bottom of this thing, and it fits nicely on a long bamboo cane. Will make a nice vine support or topiary effect in a pot, I think.
