I know what you mean, I didn't have any money for one either. So I made one, you can kinda see it here http://fluffies.org/LOSSEFOTOS.....rin-15.jpg It's just from tree branches I took from outside Smile Didn't cost me anything.

Also you can make one for really cheap using PVC pipes that you buy from the hardware store. Chiquita's mom made a really nice one that you can see on her diary: http://www.fluffies.org/en/dia.....dp639.html

The pvc ones are easy and cheap to make. The benefit of using natural tree branches is that the birds really enjoy taking the bark off, and chewing the wood. Smile Can't wait to see how yours turns out.
