Since there have still been no direct observations of Finsters on concrete perches, I have decided to take some serious measures. This photo is one of the actual concrete perches, with the new modification.



Photo description:

• A — Finster Attraction Device, in the form of millet spray. Hopes are high that these Oh So Tasty Seeds will prove to be irresistable to the subjects, and lure them to use the concrete perches.
  
  
• B — Toe Protection, in the form of hot glue. Finster toes are quite delicate, so a thick band of hot glue was used to protect them from all fittings.
  
  
• C — Nail and Beak Trimming Apparatus. The purchased perch.
  
  
• D — Gravity-Defying Wire, in the form of re-imagined coat hangers.
  
  
• E — Wire Spacer, in the form of a wooden dowel.
  
  
• F — Perch Attachment Equipment, in the form of wing nuts and washers. This equipment came with the perch, and is now used to secure the wire to the perch.
  
  
• G — Attraction Device Holder (2). These plastic-coated wires secure the Finster Attraction Device to the concrete perch.

It has now been about two hours since the re-insertion of the concrete perch to the Finsterium. The Finsters once again succumbed to the Too New! syndrome, and for the most part have decided to stay away from that side of the Finsterium for the rest of their lives. The one exception is Decaffeinated who, at a porky 20 grams, knows a tasty seed when she sees one. She got very, very close, but so far, the Finster Attraction Device has not worked.
