Description


  1. String some beads for a bracelet and set aside.
  2. Sew the buttons on, I did mine where the fingernails would be, but your bird won't mind where you put them.
  3. Fill the glove with treats and toys.
  4. Close the top with a zippy tie.
  5. Use the plastic lace and tie a bell to one of the fingers. Check first and make sure the clapper does not need to be reinforced.
  6. Slip the bracelet over the top and fasten hand to your birds cage.
