Cargo nets.

[casper]

I am looking for new ideas again for my three and really like the idea of using one of these nets for my three to play on!

 

Could all you members who have them already maybe post me a picture just to show how you use yours and tell me if your grey really enjoys playing on there.

 

I am in the UK, I will do a search and find the best place to buy one but would appreciate any info from you all.

 

Thanks everyone.

Do you think this size would be suitable?

[Gryphon]

I use the 3 X 6 and it is probably more than I need, so I'd think that would be fine. Gryphon loves the net!

 

 

[Gryphon]

P.S. I am thinking of getting another to hang vertically so he can climb up and down it like a ladder. He loves to have different toys hung from it...runs all over it to see what I've changed or added!

[Anmlhggr]

That is so cute, I think I'll look into getting one as well...I'd love to give Woody and Indi the chance to play on one! :laugh:

[Talon]

I bought one about 3 months ago. It was enormous, and I cut it in half. I hung it vertically with some toys on it, but my 2 greys will have NOTHING to do with it. It is now a decoration in my living room......

Talon, where did you buy yours at? I've been looking at them too. For the price it seems like it would be better to make one yourself, but I never seem to have the extra time... I'm not really sure why they cost so much, other than the fact that people know bird owners will spend ANY amount of money to keep their fids happy...

[Talon]

Lyric, I paid about $125 for mine with shipping. It was the biggest they made (recommended for AG) I wish I had bought a smaller one. I just cleaned my history out, but I will let you know where I bought it. It was some place online.

The rope diameter is bigger than I prefer. I only wish my birds would use it. It looks cool....I'll try to take some pictures of it and post later.

 

You could make one, I thought that too, but it was a time factor for me...just easier to buy.

Hey y'all, I was just looking around and discovered these nets are on sale for what looks like a pretty good price to me at www.parrot-and-conure-world.com.

[judygram]

Thanks Linda for sharing that link with us, looks like a good price on it as I seen prices well over $100, I am going to order one for Josey.

[Gryphon]

That's the best price I've seen! Thanks! Now we "need" another one.

[Gryphon]

I should also say that Gryphon's (see pics above) is a medium-long. It seems perfect for him. They recommend the large size for greys, which is more expensive.

[Talon]

The link you posted was the same place I bought mine from. The large ones are VERY heavy! Like I said, it was SO big, I cut mine in half. Here is a picture of mine that my birds WILL HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH!!!!:evil: :evil: :evil:

Thanks so much for the info. That is a good price- best one I've seen so far.

Talon, maybe in time your greys will decide the net looks like fun.

[Tycos_mom]

They don't look that hard to make I think I'll try I'll let you know hoow it goes.

[Luvparrots]

I ordered my cargo net. Been thinking about it for a couple of weeks and now I've gone and done it. Thanks to all this posting and seeing pictures of greys having so much fun in them my almost grey now owns one. So thanks everyone, I think!!!:silly:

[Debbieknd]

I love mine..I have them every where..

at first they do not play or climb on them ..then one day it happenes I perfer the smal size rather than the lg ones (I have both) you can hang them in easier places

[casper]

 

Well, I managed to get a cargo net for the birds:) Thanks everyone for the great ideas!

 

The birds were all really curious but baby Jasper was the first one to go for it! Just ordered some more Mardii Gras buckets from Northern Parrots and gonna get some more toys on this afternoon.

[casper]

 

 

I had to carry poor Charlie over as he cant fly! As you can see he loved playing with the secret toys in the play bucket.

[casper]

 

Keeko wanted no part in the net and the cheeky monkey took to the light fitting instead!:laugh:

[danmcq]

LOL Casper - Just like a child, buy them a $200 toy and they play with the damn box. ;-) These cargo nets are fun looking play-gyms for birds. But, my wife will have no part of it. I guess I have reached my limit with boings hanging, ceiling suspended playstand and regular playstands...... Guess I need to buy a larger house. ;-)

[judygram]

That looks nice Caroline, the rope in your net is not as big as the one I have and haven't put up yet, I know your 3 are going to love playing around on that net, thanks for sharing the pics with us.

 

Love that cheeky monkey!!!:laugh:

[casper]

 

The terrible two!

[Poppy]

They look as though its fun !

I just ordered George one so hope he likes it !

[Gryphon]

Looks like they are having a blast Casper! We hung our second net in the living room and Gryphon's been all over it. We hung three corners and left one hanging down. My husband says it is G's chair because he sits in it to watch the tv. Dan, maybe if you convince your wife it is furniture...

 

I can't believe how fast they get around on those things. Grey acrobatic skills amaze me!
