Polly doesn’t always want a cracker. Sometimes your bird just wants some love and good company. Sure, some birds like their alone time as much as you or me, but a bird such as a parrot is a social animal. They need to see the world and get some fresh air, rather than being pent up in your house all day.
The Birdcage Backback allows you to take your bird for a stroll. If you don’t have the patience of a pirate and can’t train the bird to sit obediently on your shoulder without flying away, then you must keep the pet confined. But at least you can allow the bird to get some fresh air and a view of the outside world.
Not only is this an advantage for the bird, but it means that if you want to transport your pet around the town that you no longer need to lug around a heavy cage. The meshed bird enclosure fits comfortably around your shoulders just like any standard backpack.
So if you feel a little guilty for keeping your pet bird caged up all day in a big empty house, the Birdcage Backpack is a great way to take the little guy with you without much of a strain. We imagine the most difficult part is simply getting the bird into the backpack. But once it’s comfortable, it might just do it all on its own.

Hippy, hippy, quite so trippy. How does your garden grow? You can’t help but think of nursery rhymes when the image of magical mushrooms and gardens are filling your head. Today seems like the day of mushroom mania. Earlier today we wrote about a Mushroom Desk Cleaner. While that product is not nearly as fun to mix into rhyming prose of happiness, it’s mushroom themed nevertheless.
And now we’ve found a truly psychedelic product. An integration of mushrooms which many of you might be much more familiar with. The Magic Mushrooms are solar powered LED lit lawn ornaments made to cast some light on your garden at night.
Each of the mushrooms automatically illuminates in the darkness, alternating through a collection of trippy ambient colors. All you have to do is leave the shroom lights in an area of your lawn which will receive an ample amount of sunlight. Once fully charged the mushrooms provide 8 hours of light.
The Magic Mushroom Solar Lights come shipped in packs of 4. We’ve done some surfing and found a online store where you can grab a pack for only £28.49 plus a low shipping fee. If you’re trying to prove to your neighbors that your lawn really is more magical than theirs, the Magic Mushrooms could help drive the point home.

Have you seen those crazy parachute planes that combine a propeller driven engine with a chute and allows bored weekend warriors to kill themselves without a pilot’s license? Well, now there’s a company taking the next “logical” step by creating a flying dune buggy that does the same thing – kill a reckless driver and anyone else who is unfortunate enough to be on the ground when this 2,500 pound rock drops on their heads.
The specs on this supposed green death trap are as follows: powered by a biodiesel-modified motorcycle engine, the Parajet Skycar has a take-off distance of less than 200 meters and a top speed of almost 70MPH. Cruising altitude will be 2000 to 3000 ft with a maximum ceiling of around 15,000 feet and it has a maximum range of around 185 miles. It looks rather tempting considering it allows just about any road surface become a runway and it does appeal to the ?Q? like Bond impulses in me, and I?m sure those ultra thin wires adhering that heavy dune buggy to the chute are aircraft grade ? but if that chute were to fail, that baby drops like a rock worse than the space shuttle. But at least you get to live your Slim Pickens Dr. Strangelove fantasy.
Cost is around $70,000.
Hat Tip ? D?Vice
