New Playstand

[quixoft]

I saw some other CPVC playstands on here and thought I would make my own. I'm not finished with this one but it is for Sam, our green cheek conure. It's a mixture of mainly 1/2" with some 3/4" for her to have some variation and stretch her feet. I bought a second base and enough piping and fittings to build a larger one for my future TAG that will be here in July!

 

 

Sam of course was fascinated with the build, drill noise, pipe cutting, and all. She was with my wife watching but decided to take it upon herself to come on over and check things out. She decided it was hers immediately and started climbing while I was halfway through building it.

 

I need to configure it a bit better with the perches a bit closer together. Although she is a pretty good jumper and made her way up to the top without help, she had to reach and had some close calls on the slick pipe. She's pretty acrobatic though and is good about making safe landings if she misses a jump. The vet tape and sisal will help out a bunch when I add it over the next few days.

 

I have a few places to hang toys and such and will have a hanger for a toy at the top. The eyelets are stainless but the flanges on the bottom are galvanized metal so I'm going to find a different way to mount it. I can probably find some CPVC fittings that will attach to the floor.

 

I'll post pics again when I'm further along and another when I'm finished.

That's really some nice work you've done there, well done. With some toys added, this will be a fun stand for your parrot. Will make DJ one when i have some spare time, i am jealous
