Not too sure. If you pull it off you'd be more crafty than I am.
Thanks for this!

Here's something similar for dogs.

HandicappedPets.com - Lanies Homemade Dog Wheelchair

I don't think it's crafting skills I need. It's engineering skills followed by handy man skills.

Roll Call 33This one looks pretty straight forward to me and the straps probably make it more comfy and adjustable---the rest yes an engineering degree----

I notice the back doesn't have wheels. I wonder why that is.

It does its facing forward and blended into the carpet---they are the spinney kind of wheels so its multidirectional.

Very cool. And similar to the one for dogs I linked to above. I wonder if she can duck her head under that bar in order to eat.

You really probably don't need the front cross bar that high I think they did that because her neck looks messed up---I think if you had at least 2 cross bars in the back you would get a pretty stable U shaped structure or you could add another side connecter lower in the pvc to get a lower cross bar in the front----pvc is also super easy to work with compared to a lot of stuff---kind of like tinker toys but with some cutting---

Here's an article about it: http://www.majesticwaterfowl.org/mmissue61.htm They used a laundry cart and cut it down. I think it would be cheaper to just buy the pipe at a hardware store.

You could certainly customize it better if you went to the hardware store----

I'd like to make it support her but also challenge her. (Kind of like my views on psych meds. ) I want her to work some. That good leg could bear her weight if she'd stand up. I think she doesn't stand often because that other leg is just dead weight in her way.

It would also be great if she could put her head to the ground to eat without tipping the thing over.

Oh, my apologies Ms Well. Lol I don't want to seem too nosey. I looked through your profile. Not too sure what to ask...

What made you want to mod the SZ board? Is there an option or how does it work? Have you ever experienced psychosis or have a love one that has? What do you like to do for fun? Do you have any pets? How you doing today?
Thanks for this!

Which forums do you mod? Ive seen S and P and sza, but are there others?

We've not had a green mod here before perhaps an oversight---do you know why we have you now?

Do you have an interest in psychosis or would any forum do?

yeah I don't know if her back is broken she might not be getting the right balance signals to feed back into the leg---I know my legs were perfectly good when I had cerebellum issues but I still couldn't walk---but yeah my bird sits on one leg all the time so there must be a reason why I think---

Awesome questions

I chose the Sz board because there weren't a lot of people moderating here and I really like the people that post here.
I have not experienced psychosis nor do I know anyone who has.
For fun I hang out with friends. I like to go to the movies or out to dinner. I also play the saxophone.
I do have pets. I have parrots and a dog.
I am doing okay today. A little low.

Forums at Psych Central - Show Groups
Here is a list of everyone, including me

I don't think it matters that all groups have a green mod I just happen to be one and I'm here
Thanks for this!

Costello, I hope I don't offend u, but is the chicken in a lot of pain? With a broken back I would imagine so. Do you think the more humane thing is to have the chicken put to sleep?
