zooman Posted September 16, 2008 Posted September 16, 2008 This one is my TAG Zuri's stand i made and this is my alexandrines stand i made, old picture i added much more toys etc, but you can get the picture of what it looks like.
pmaholm Posted September 18, 2008 Posted September 18, 2008 I thought I'd repost the pics of the stands we made for Refund and Joey. They both love them Refund's Stand Finished. Joey's Stand Finished. Both stands together with birds. -Patrick
Suzzique Posted September 18, 2008 Posted September 18, 2008 Very nice! Looks like they are really enjoying them!
pmaholm Posted September 18, 2008 Posted September 18, 2008 I forgot to mention, for the materials to construct the lower sections(not the wooden playgym parts) was about $37 a piece.
Suzzique Posted September 18, 2008 Posted September 18, 2008 Wow really? I've only spent about $100 total and made 4 gyms. I have one for at my oldest daughters.
Sallas Posted September 19, 2008 Posted September 19, 2008 I have a couple different play stands. One is store bought, which Saphira is okay with, but she seems to really love the PVC units that I have built. I wrap sisal twine around 1/2" PVC pipe for the perching parts and use 3/4" PVC for the frame work. The twine gives her a better grip on the perch (we all know how graceful greys can be). Here is the store bought one: it is by Prevue. I have even tried wrapping the wood perch with twine, but she still seems to like my PVC creations better.
Suzzique Posted September 19, 2008 Posted September 19, 2008 Yours are more fun! I find the store bought ones just boring.
MommaFawkes Posted October 12, 2008 Posted October 12, 2008 Here is Aries new play area..this stuff was all bought from www.bird.com..but hey its cool! The boing is connected to his cage..and there is a toy hanging from it, it then leads up to the hanging gym and is conncted to that..which has a great java toy on it too!
Luvparrots Posted October 12, 2008 Posted October 12, 2008 I certainly enjoyed the variety of playgyms. It's on my list of important things to get for my baby Tag. I wish I was handy like so many of the other grey owners. Get ideas here!!!
jujubechan Posted October 12, 2008 Posted October 12, 2008 This is fantastic! Is there a tutorial on how to make your own playgyms? I am very interested to make one if I know what it needs. I often buy ropes perch and hang it around their big cages they seem to enjoy it but would love to build something smaller so I can put it on a table when I move around the house.
ChadsArmyWife Posted November 5, 2008 Posted November 5, 2008 Your playstand is AMAZING! Can you explain how you made it and about how much it costs? How do you do the base? I've never built a playgym before so if you could explain it step-by-step that would be great! I want my birds to have the best playstand possible!
Anmlhggr Posted November 7, 2008 Posted November 7, 2008 Suzzique, those are some awesome playstands! How did you make the little 'netting' on the back of that one? Also, those wrap around ropes that I'm seeing everywhere, does anyone know where I can get one cheap? The only ones I've seen are like $40 and that's really pricey I think...or make one maybe?
ranaz Posted March 9, 2009 Posted March 9, 2009 All those stands are made with great love for your birds and this is what really matters and why your birds love them... nice job guys, you gave me lots of ideas... {Nature-00020095}{Nature-00020095}{Nature-00020095}
lovethatgrey Posted March 10, 2009 Posted March 10, 2009 My parrots absolutely love their gym! It's a hanging one and also serves as an activity center beause I regularly rotate their favourite toys on it. They both like to sit on it and gaze out the window and watch the world go by. A playgym is pretty indispensable in my opinion. Here's a picture of Emma.
lovethatgrey Posted March 10, 2009 Posted March 10, 2009 Here's a short video of her on her gym. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5nhbl86X6Rc
