Except for a few of the XL (too big for a senegal), they are all out of stock right now. I was chatting with the owner the other day, and she's hoping to have more before long. :)

ya i just emailed back and forth with her. But for reference, which type of the tree stands (for smaller birds) do birds normally like? once with a gazillion tightly spaced branches or ones with fewer and a bit wider? Can you link me to one that is good? Also type would be good for bunch of toys/swings?

I am hoping to buy one soon too. I think I would want one that has a lot of horizontal space. I also want mine to have various diameters small to medium to that I can let both my birds have turns using it. From those pictures, I'm sure it's going to be hard for both of us to pick once she gets more! I think they come with some toy hooks on them.

you think i can request some extra hooks to be attached? or will i be able to attach some myself easily.

That I'm not sure about, I would email Kathie to ask. You may be able to get SS eyebolts at a lowes or similar store and put them on yourself.

The bigger the bird the fewer the branches is usually what I go by. I would get one with as many branches as you can for your Sennie. If he's anything like mine, she loves to climb all over the playstand. I tried metal playstands for her, but she would have nothing to do with them.

My choice if I had a Sennie would be #1250
There are so many to chose from ! But like what was mentioned by mtdoramike
the more branches the better :)

I bought two beautiful huge java tree stands for my Macaws and to tell you the truth , they found it very slippery and hard to stay on . I had to rasp the heck out of it and tie leather strings tightly around some of the branches so they can grasp and re gain their confidence.
And they only use the two highest branches , the rest , so far , have remained un used.
Same with the TOOS , who are much smaller , one of them , Rosie , uses only the top two.

I don't know if the smaller birds find them slippery or utilize all the branches
But for the prices of these Java stands/trees , it's a beautiful piece of furniture , that's about it. ( IMO )

Vet wrap is a great alternative for that, Luv :)

Thanks ;). I tried that but the Macaws had it off quicker then I put it on !!
So , after a few rolls , I came up with the leather strips.
I tried the vet wrap multiple times figuring they would get bored chewing it , I added a crazy amount of chew toys , shred fable ones , etc....but all they wanted to do was tear the vet wrap off , lolol.
They leave the leather alone and it works great :)
Plus it's easy to tie toys to , lol. So I can put toys many places and I don't need the small eye hooks , which Stella took off as soon as she found them :)
Gotta try to keep a step ahead of these Macaws , lolol.

Interesting....... mine don't really mess with the vet wrap much at all, but they will tear leather up in a flash, so bad I don't even use it anymore.

Yep ,it's pretty interesting what attracts one doesn't attract the other....
They're all individuals ;)

What about 4311 and 7072. Those have more branches. I wonder if the branches in 7072 are actually usable since they are tightly placed.

They are fine , just stating opinions :) Many people have them and love them.
If you have a chance to check one out in a store , you'll get a better idea what you would like or should I say , your Sennie would like :)
