Our homemade corner of fun!

So we made a seemingly popular PVC pipe gym. Wrapped it up with vet wrap. Which is The best stuff ever!

Then hubby drilled holes thru a bunch of pecan tree limbs, since in Georgia...that's all there is really, is pecan trees! And since we have 3 in our yard it was perfect. Then he screwed them all together to make that stacked, stick, type pyramid thing. I seen the idea in a bird store here but they wanted $50 for one. This was much cheaper! And funner! Then he drilled thru 2 ceramic condiment bowls to screw to the top of the pyramid for treats and water. They don't leak and work perfect! Then took a chain and hung it up!

After we did that I wanted to connect it to the top of the cage since hanging on top of a round top cage could get boring. I made a homemade rope bridge from colored sisal rope. I know it's debatable but I've never had an issue with it. Then tied it from the pyramid to the cage and then tied the gym to the pyramid.

Now it's like a never ending fun corner!

But I wanted to ask....what other homemade things can I use, make, do to add to the semi empty corner?

My birds spend only about 8 hours a night with the cage door shut. As soon as I wake up in the mornings around 6 am. I open the door. Then don't close it until around 10 pm. So they are free to go in and out as they please. And since they are out more than they are in I'm itching to add more stuff.

Can I add a fake potted tree? Beside the cage is where I'd put it. But what do I need to know about the fake trees?? Anyone ever use them?

Sorry for the crazy long post.

Love it! Great job!

**Flies over to Georgia** **Slips on ski mask** If your playgym is stolen within the next 48 hours... Well...

That is soooo cool! I want to make something like that, but I am not as creative as you. As far as the fake tree goes, I have one in my bird room. My fid's don't play with it, it's just to make their room cute.

Oh man my GCC would love that. I just have a little playtop wooden thing for him and have been wanting something better. I'd love to get him a whole new cage to be honest. You all did a good job on that!

Well done! Love it...

I love it, you guys did a great job wow
Your birds will never ever be bored

That is neat. What a creative way to make a bird happy. MY hands are so crippled I cannot do much toward making things; that is why I buy everything. Bird toys are so expensive though. I would hate to guess at how much I have spent on toys for Judy in the last 26 years. It would probably blow my mind if I sat down and figured it all.
I bet that will bring your bird many hours of happiness.

that looks great! im in Georgia and make my on toys for my birds and i use lots of cherry branches there are tons in our yard! fake plants are fine i use real ones (that are safe of course) in my birdroom but fake will work fine and as long as they dont try and eat the fake leaves your good lol.

What a neat play area. happy happy fid. Not to mention lucky fid
