Summary

This is a wheel chair type design for a bird that is injured. For my purpose is was used for a baby pigeon who fell out of a tree and broke their spine. The pigeon sits in it like a nest to keep them up right and we are able to wheel them around and look after them. It was based off the picture above of the chicken which you can easily make it bigger or taller and cut holes for the feet as well, depending on need and size of bird.
Once you print everything and get them all connected, it is a rather loose fit, To keep them together i put a small glob of hot glue inside the connectors and put super glue on the pipe ends and around the circular part to keep them firmly to the connectors.
I purchased a cheap pair of wheels from amazon (1.5" wheel)

Four of the pipes have holes on the bottom that you simple just screw them onto, it can be alittle tight but the metal teeth of the wheel cuts into the plastic for a snug fit, no need for glue for the wheels. (watch out for elephants foot)

You need support for the connectors.
