Finally!! The room for Bella is finally cleaned up and cage is built and toys are put in! Here is Bella's room & new home! The only thing I am missing is my PVC play gym that I built for her. I Will place it near the cage and also purchase a cargo net . I think I will place the cargo net in the corner and near the play gym. Boy she is going to be so spoiled ^__^

Very nice set up, yes it looks as if Bella will be spoiled. The only thing I would change is the rope ladder. Amazon babies tend to be playful but very clumsy. I think a baby could very easily get tangled in that. jmho

What a fantastic setup! Little Bella has no idea just how spoiled she will be:D I agree with Laura about the ladder until she's a little older, but don't get rid of it! Once she's gained her sense of balance, those are great for them! Amazons are very active little gymnasts. Kiwi likes to go crazy on all kinds of unstable climbing surfaces:rolleyes:

Oh okay! Thanks for the advice guys! I just put it there temporary but I will buy some perches and place it inside and ill take the ladder out for now. What do you guys think about the rope perches? will that be okay? or should I stick with all wooden perch for now?

Nice setup! Bella should be super pleased. Do get rope AND natural wood, parrots need various diameters and textures to keep their little tootsies as healthy as can be. If you can get natural wood perches with thick crusty bark all the better. With the rope perches be sure to monitor for chewing activity, some birds leave them alone, but others shred them up and sometimes this can be hazardous if they are swallowing little bits.

That looks great! One thing you may want to do is go to the dollar store and get those cheap shower curtain liners (without the lead weights) and thumbtack those to the wall behind your cage and play stand. I get them by the dozen and just change them out every few months. It really protects the painted wall behind the cage. I get the liners the same color as my walls in my living room, but in the bird room, I get green. Coupled with the nontoxic plants in that room, it really gives it a jungle feel. Can't beat those things for $1 each.

That's a good idea ! My dad is thinking of applying on wood on the wall so Bella won't damage the paint. I'm also thinking of adding my touch of bamboo wall sticker for some jungle feel hehe

I love the idea! I just ordered a larger cage and I don't have room to stick it in the middle of the room like I did with the first cage. I was going to go to Ross and find some discount bed sheets for the back wall but this will be a lot less effort not to mention less laundry.
