I am just about to order this for Bebe and Frankie.
Hopefully I can get it filled up fast with lots of toys.
I know one of the vendors on here makes them, and I almost ordered 1 yesterday, but the shipping costs
were almost as much as the play gym itself.
I am sad really because I like the other one a bit better as it had a place for treats/water.
I CAN have this one custom made and shpping is really cheap.
I have other ladders that are larger than this one looks, so I will just replace that.
I like the tray as it will be easy clean up at the end of the day.

What do you all think?

Oooh I love it! I'm sure with a few tweaks Frankie and Bebe will love it too :D

It's annoying being in the UK when there's so many amazing vendors in the US on here isn't it? I wish I could buy everything on here :rolleyes:

Yes it certainly is.
It's not the price of the toys that are bad, it's the shipping charges!!!
Ohhhh why did I leave the US and Canada???? GRRRRRR
The only store over here is Northern Parrots, and they don't do anything like this.

Like it! Is the diameter thick enough for Frankie and Bebe? It’s hard to tell in the photo.
There is 1/2" PVC or 3/4". I have ordered the 3/4"
It looks sturdy. I am waiting for a reply back from the vendor as I asked her about 2 macaws on it at the same time. I want to make sure it's not going to be wobbly.

My birds are weird., Frankie has a cat tunnel that he hordes. Bebe has just recently been allowed to enter it. Bebe has a cat climbing tower that she plays on.And yes, it was ME who bought both toys for them.
They suit their personalities. Bebe is a climber, while Frankie is content to be anti-social and hide in his tunnel with his toys.
This should let them interact more and it's good exercise for them too.

I would go 1” or wider. @Matto what’s the diameter on our shower perches?
I will check with the seller. She did say she can do custom work. So 1" should be good or 1 1/4 "
She can also add the dishes for me and put a hut in it.

This one is 1" PVC but it looks boring.

Throw some toys on it and some vet wrap and it will look wonderful.
They will love the cargo net.

It looks boring because there are no birds swinging off of it wildly....lol
It could look more like a circus when they start hanging out!

I know some of the toys the vendors have here are great, shame about shipping though.

Try natural bird co for custom perches and birdie plays stands and swings and unquie toys too. Scarlett's parrot essentials ( free shipping on orders over £100) have a massive range of food, toys and cages and at very low prices (even lower than northern parrots). All in the UK and shipping is cheap/reasonable depending on the size of the box.

Thanks for the heads up. I will check into them and see which one is the best for my brats, oops I mean my angels.
LOL it's been one of those days.
