How to make a bird stand on the palm trees?

[Rasputin]

Without non-playmobil stuffs.

I tried and it fell off when there was the tiniest movement, and I dont want to use blue tag. Is there any trick I can apply and fix them, like parrots and toucans, on the leaves? MANY THANKS!!

Hi

There are not many options if you do not want to use the multi colored tack or hot glue people suggested. If it were a pigeon or wood pecker you could create a tiny stud like on the other tree canopies but on the palm tree there are really no areas to accommodate a full sized bird clip. The only other way might be to cut (to very specific size) two holes, leaving the center piece as the attaching point for the birds feet. I assume you want it on the leaves not the stem, like in the picture ?

Thank you all for the replies, maybe I should try these methods out!!!

FYI if you have any playmoparts that come on plastic sprues, SAVE the sprues (I do).  They can come in handy later to create pegs and handles because they FIT the clicky hands (and other things like the Parrot claws).

If you have any extra sprues left (small parts are usually molded into the sprues that require you to cut or twist them off.  Usually Treasure money, or other small parts), you can cut a peg size off, then, if you need an attachment point, say, like on your mast or your tree, drill a small hole (slightly smaller than the diametre of the sprue) and then push the peg into the hole.  Now you have a pearch for your parrot!

just an idea.  I've done this with my cannons on deck.

Atto, that's brilliant! What a great idea!

Hi

Thats strange, I used to always check if the extra plastic from spruces would fit hands for customs and they never did ??

I gave up but I guess I will have to check again.

well, depends on the sprue I guess.  I mainly use the sprues that come with the extra add-on sails for the ships.  Other options would be to buy spare flag poles, or spears, or anything that is actually meant to fit in a clicky hand that is long, and you can cut those up as well.  I also use the ram rods that come with the cannons, as I don't really use them all for actual play/display.
