Since the kid (almost 2 yrs) had figured out how to infiltrate my barriers and decided to play in the "sand box" which was the base for Chili's PVC jungle gym...So I figured it was time to dismantle it anyways.

She still needed a gym to play on, so I had some bamboo hubby cut up a while ago and enough PVC to start my own hardware store lol so I made this...

I enslaved hubby to install a huge eye-screw in the ceiling so it hangs above her cage.... She seems slightly skeptical because it swings, but she likes it enough to climb to the top!

We are looking for a bird for our family. It's very much like we are pregnant and waiting for the day the new addition comes to the family!
Oh that's cool! I've been trying to come up with a similar idea, for in my bedroom maybe. I love this one, good job wozzy!

Yep! Lol hubby was saying how we should use certain training methods to get rid of his "bad behaviors" and explained how we should go about it- I said oh, that's how you'd train a parrot!! HAHAHAHA

Thank you! :)

It was fairly easy- I used vet wrap to get the bamboo sticks to fit snugly in the PVC, and it hangs from a chain connected with a quick link- all of that is covered with an extra piece of PVC to prevent her from climbing up to the ceiling and eating it :rolleyes:

The bamboo sticks actually spiral like a staircase- in this picture you can't see a couple on the other side.

I have got to get rid of the drop ceiling in my bird room! After seeing this, and Tab's pictures of Fargo's set up, I feel like a bad Mommy:(
Now that I have inspiration, I can see a new play set up for my guys!!

Oh pish posh Terry!! You're definitely NOT a bad mommy!

I think you could build something like this that sits on the floor instead of hanging...?

You can do it. I have faith in you! Just put Chilli on your head, and teach her to act like a very stylish hat:)
I don't know how good a vacation it would be though...oh, wait a minute. I meant to say this is the best place to visit in the world!!!! Get packing, my friend (and make sure to pack sweaters:))
