Hey everyone! What's up?
So I've been noticing Miles' boredom with the toys he has had for awhile. Problem is, I don't have the finances to lavish my little guy like some of you do. He's done really amazing though, and has shown no signs of stress or severe boredom (which I've read can be a real problem). He doesn't get a whole lot of time out, either, which I really hate for him and me. But I do my best to make the little time he is out as special and enriching as I can.
As part of a solution for this, I am planning to make a DIY parrot play stand and a few perches from a limited budget of $100. I decided to use PVC for framing, and various kinds of natural rope and twine along with blocks of wood (safe, untreated) and some store-bought toys to create the stand. I don't want anything super huge; something that's easy to move and clean; and that will provide my precious feather baby with some great entertainment and enrichment.
I would really love to see some photos of anything you've made from PVC for your parrot(s). Ideas for fun arrangements and neat construction (that fit nicely into a very tight budget) are also very much appreciated.
Thanks guys! Happy Chirps!
