Tinker - CAG
Front
Side

Gym we made for Tinker. Stands 77 inches high, 53 inches long and 28 inches wide. 15 locations for toys, black part of the dishes is removable and dishwasher safe and we made two new toys. Chain one on the left and the center one with the rings. Simple to clean and very easy to lift fully assembled. Fits through the door with no problem. Very sturdy with the frame larger then perches, room for new creations and even another level and ladder (for a later date). With everything you see in the photo it weighs about 20-25 pounds.

Oh!! Impressed is an understatement! That is extremely nice. Not only is it visually attractive, but the shape makes sense too, and makes full use of all the areas without taking unnecessary floor space. Well planned out, what a success!! :) Better than anything you can buy.

That is awesome. I hope you don't mind if I borrow the idea, it really does look fantastic though. Oh, and what did you use to wrap the perches O:)?

That turned out really nice. PVC is wonderful stuff to work with too. Like playing with oversized Tinker Toys. Actually, my only suggestion would be that if you added a small cargo net to this thing, he could run around the entire middle section of it, and it would more than double your perch space.

Please don't 'quote me' on it, but it looks to be wrapped with sisal rope. :) Natural sisal comes in all different thicknesses, and most birds take to it readily.

As a point to remind people, when purchasing sisal rope, make sure you get the twine not the rope, b/c the rope is much to thick to use in such an application.
