@anansi Yes, you have the size correct. I have no idea if they ship but I would think the shipping would negate any savings from the sale.

Point! Lol! Though my wife's surgically precise questions about where exactly we would put such a stand at this time rendered the entire exercise moot. Smh.

Guess I'd better get to work clearing out the basement. Lol!

Jake YNA 1970,Kia Panama amazon1975, both i removed from nest and left siblings, Forever Home to,Stacie (YN hen),Mickie (RLA male),Blinkie (YNA hen),Kong (Panama hen),Rescue Zons;Nitro,Echo,Rocky,Rub
I am thinking about building a temporary play stand for my B&G while I look / save for a better stand. Would like to get a good one now but between the cage, toys, vet and rescue of Tweety Bird I am already a little strapped.

Does anyone have a favorite place to order good stands? Any advice on the type of stands that are best for these big guys?

thanks,

Hey Steve, i make play stand from dragonwood . The problem is it cost so much to ship them, more than the stand itself. If you can find old floor lamps at yardsales i can ship you some branches to attach to it. PM me if you need some dragon wood.

Hey Steve, I've got some pretty stuff (large dragonwood), do the forum search for dragonwood and check out some of the pics i posted. I have a lot of nice macaw size stuff.( diameter of a soda can and larger)
