Most of the toys are DIY also, cost less than $50 to build

What a great job you did! Love it! I love making PVC playstands for my fids. Feels like I'm playing with tinker toys. LOL!

I noticed something plugged in behind the playgym, just make sure your little buddy doesn't chew on the cord.

Awesome! I can't wait to build one myself. I love seeing what other members make, it gives me so many ideas. Once I finally have free time I'll probably be building my birds a castle, haha!

Thanks guys 😁 The wire was for a sunlight bulb for Tija, I have since relocated everything and routed the wire where she cannot get a hold of it.

That is an awesome playgym! My sun Cisco absolutely loves his! Only problem is he'd rather be playing on it that on me now:20:

Tija loves it, especially when I put her dried fruits in the "cat ball" toys. She wants nothing to do with me until she gets them all lol

How did you go about making it? I've been looking at ways to make them but I always like more resources.
I was thinking about making a training stand first but I will try a playgym if I can after.

I just grabbed a bunch of 1/2" tees and 90's and went to town. Instead of gluing, I just took and tapped everything together nice and tight.

Wow, it's so cute! I wish my gcc and other buddies would stay on their play gym. Our whole dining room became a huge play gym now, with tons of ropes, perches, ladders and toys hanging all over.
