CAG Quincy - BD 3/27/00. Gotcha 6/00 ~ GW Macaw Savannah - BD 6/21/93. Gotcha 4/13 ~ B&G Macaw Coqui - BD 9/3/03. Gotcha 10/13 ~ Blue Crown Conure Sidney - BD Unknown Approx 5 Years Old. Gotcha 6/15/
I finally finished Coqui's birthday present. It's a hanging play gym. She has gone on it already and seems to like it! :D I got the idea from a pet store I went to in Canada. They are available online at Amazon, but they were over $100 bucks for the size I made and they retail for $150 in the pet shops! :eek: That is what inspired me to try making it. Mine is much fancier, too! ;)

Here are a couple of pics below. To see a bunch more pictures, get directions and what the online one looked like go to my blog post at: The Sweet Life Of A Parrot: Coqui's Birthday Present - Hanging Play Gym!

:eek: Holy mother of all hanging toys! :11:

That behemoth is FANTASTIC, Blanca!!!!! Oh my gosh, I've got such hanging envy right this moment. :D

Outstanding job, and I can see Coqui (AND Savannah) having loads of fun on that awesome jungle gym! WOW!!!

WOW! Thats awesome! You did a great job on that, and I'm sure it suits your birds *so* much better than a store bought one.

Looks like Coqui is loving it already:D

Thanks Wendy! :D I love your reaction. Hee Hee! I will say that this thing took some time to put together. I am so glad it is done. But seeing Coqui on it and seeing how nice it looks in their store bird room, I am really glad I made it! :)

Yeah, isn't that retail price unbelievable! :eek: The smaller cube I think was 12x12 was $60 bucks up in Canada! I hope to make the smaller cube for Quincy to try out! But I think I'll give myself a break for a couple of weeks. That was some work that went into this thing! LOL!

Happy Birthday, Coqui!! That is one fantastic birdie birthday gift, Blanca! All your hard work will be thoroughly enjoyed, I'm sure! Hope you don't mind if I borrow your wonderful ideas. I don't know how you'll top that for the next birthday bird, an amusement park, maybe?

Wow, that was a gift worth waiting for! Coqui looks like she is loving it, and rightly so:)
Can't wait to see Quincy's when you finish it.
Heading to your blog now so I can show your instructions to Hubby:):)
