So I am eventually planning on making myself one of those PVC pipe - type play gyms. As far as covering it so they can grip, I have seen people use vetwrap and grip tape. What about duct tape? Would it not have enough grip, or is it dangerous?

Though I'm not sure but the adhesive can be dangerous for a bird if somehow they start to get into it. Depending on the duct tape, they probably don't have much grip. I'd rather stick to vet wrap to play it safe.

Thank you, that is exactly what I was looking for. I was thinking it'd be something like that. It's always better safe than sorry!

Might be too slippery in addition to the dangers adhesives present. I'd stick with vet wrap.

I've seen some people wrap natural cordage, tightly, also.
