OrlandoGreyGuy Posted May 12, 2010 Share Posted May 12, 2010 (edited) Hello everyone!! My name is Russ and my Grey is Winston I am so happy to be here. This forum is so very informative and fun. In fact my partner and I have just built a playstand that I found here. I will post pics in the appropriate thread. So what to say about myself and of course Winston.... Winston is 9months old. He is an animated little thing. Well, big thing actually. LOL. I love him so much. My partner Mark and I have six dogs and four birds in our zoo. Winston the CAG, Oz a male Eclectus, Monkey a Sun Conure and Giddeon a very moody Indian Ringneck. They all get along and antagonize each other non-stop. Thank you so much for this site. I can't wait to jump in Edited May 12, 2010 by OrlandoGreyGuy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
judygram Posted May 12, 2010 Share Posted May 12, 2010 Hello Russ and welcome to our family and I think you have just jumped in, aren't you glad you did! I also have a sun conure named Sunny, original isn't it. Wow thats fast, you have already built a playstand you found here and you just got here, you work fast, real fast. It sounds like Winston is one happy little guy and we would love to see some pictures of him if you would share some with us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xcelprinting.com Posted May 13, 2010 Share Posted May 13, 2010 Thats a cool stand, I actually had found that same model doing a search online for pvc perches: http://cdelatorre-nest.blogspot.com/2008/07/new-parrot-playstand-design.html, I was going to build it as well this weekend, I'm just not decided if I want to wrap it with twine, and if I do, where would the ends go? Or what is that material you guys are using to wrap the pvc? Is that 1/2" pvc? Thanks, Jon, in Florida too, Spring Hill, just north of Tampa, on the Gulf.

OrlandoGreyGuy Posted May 13, 2010 Author Share Posted May 13, 2010 Hey Jon! That's where I found the plans as well. A member here actually came up with it. It's really great. I just went to the local horse supply store and bought Vet Wrap and wrapped where I knew the birds would be gripping it. I like it because it just adheres to itself and when you need to change it out it just peels off. The stand itself is a HUGE hit. My guys were all over it today and didnt want to go back to their cages. LOL. Not to mention that is was CHEAP, way easy to make and it looks cool. I can't wait to make another. We modified ours a little to accomodate hanging a toy. It's better than any other stand I could buy and it can be cleaned very easily. Can you tell I like it? LOL! Thank you so much for the warm welcome guys!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
