PVC glue is basically the same as plastic model cement. It DOES contain toulene, which is toxic, but only until it cures - the toulene is there to slightly melt the plastic in the PVC, causing it to fuse. When the glue cures, the toulene evaporates. I'd glue the pieces together using the recommended LIGHT coating of glue and then wait 48-72 hours before allowing your Polly parrot to play on it.

 

the best thing about this set-up is that if you later decide to swap out a part because it gets chewed or soiled, or want to make a modification, replacement PVC is super cheap - great idea!

 

Great work!!<br><br>Post edited by: ImagoX, at: 2008/07/10 21:21

hey nice work with the stand i want to make a smaller version for my travels as well, what did you use to hold it together a bird safe glue or just just fit tightly together?

Here is the stand i built when i first got Zuri. I have added alot to it and created 2 more levels and many more toys but i thought id post it so any of you can get an idea. I was soo turned off of the hude prices that were being asked for much smaller stands. i sit this on a old coffee table and with all the levels now its about 3 feet away from the ceiling so Zuri my Timneh is never bored and spends the major part of the day on it. Hope this helps in any way.
