Pria Posted March 20, 2012 Posted March 20, 2012 Hi everyone, just wanted to share these photos of Billy enjoying her new play stand, it took about two weeks of eyeing it suspiciously before she hopped on today
judygram Posted March 21, 2012 Posted March 21, 2012 That looks great and she now has a wonderful view from the playstand, it does take them a while to get used to a new thing but it looks like a big hit. You did a real nice job with it.
xSarahx Posted March 21, 2012 Posted March 21, 2012 How have you done that??...What wood is it and where did you get it from?ta
Doug Posted March 23, 2012 Posted March 23, 2012 How have you done that??...What wood is it and where did you get it from?ta I am excited about springtime - when the leaves are in, I can identify the trees in the woods around here and I can find the perfect branch/tree/root for a playstand! I want a wood that doesn't require the removal of bark - Ellie likes to do that herself...
Pria Posted March 23, 2012 Author Posted March 23, 2012 Hey guys, its a large branch off a hawthorn, I was lucky enough to spot some kind tree surgeons cutting one down and they got me this perfect branch. My husband then spent 2 entire weekends taking the bark off with the best tool we could find...a pizza slice! Yes Doug thats my next project too, I picked some apple tree branches up yesterday from my friends garden and intend to make her some perches for her cage with the bark on, that should keep her busy!

Yes Doug thats my next project too, I picked some apple tree branches up yesterday from my friends garden and intend to make her some perches for her cage with the bark on, that should keep her busy! There seems to be some mixed opinions regarding the use of apple wood for perches. I've used hibiscus (H. syriacus) for perches in the cage and on the playtop. (I have an overgrown hibiscus hedge, so a few branches here and there aren't missed.) I leave the bark on and she takes it off... Tearing up the bark... by shyzaboy, on Flickr
