Play Gyms made from Natural branches  Reply with quote  

I've made some play gyms using pvc pipes as base and natural acacia branches as perches.

Hope to share with all here so perhaps others can do the same for their birds.

Hey Kalden, I hope you don't mind, I changed your images into links to keep the page loading faster.

Very impressive playgyms Very Happy ! I love play gyms made out of natural beranches! I made something similar for my sennie using mulberry tree branches & set it in a Christmas tree stand. Jennie loves it & hangs out on it for most of the day

We bought a large tree for our macaw, made out of manzanita wood becuz he chews thru any other wood so quick I'd have to make him a new tree everyday Shocked I felt bad at first becuz he couldn't chew the manzanita, but he's actually done a better job of chewing it than I thought he ever would!

thanks for the rave reviews! Wink

its hard to get play gyms made of natural branches in Singapore

So I'm actually beginning to offer making these for my friends' parrots locally and getting paid for it Razz

its killing two birds with one stone really...
some cash (to buy toys and food for my flock, what else?)
and then the job satisfaction of seeing parrots playing, chewing and enjoying themselves on these gyms

That's a great way to create a new gym. Can I ask what you used to hold the PVC together?
