I've been looking for an inexpensive playstand for Ripley that I can put in the bedroom. When I'm working, I can't be with him because I have a pet free workshop and office area. Josh meanwhile is usually playing video games in the bedroom. I wanted to give Ripley a place he can be with Josh while also being able to freely eat and play.

At any rate, I saw this Caitec Acrobird Pyramid on Amazon for $42, but had an open box available for $27. It arrived today but missing some hardware. I knew the items could be found at my local Home Depot, so I asked Amazon if they could give me a discount on the playstand so I could go buy the hardware. They credited me $10, bringing my total to $17. Hardware was less than $3 :)

It's much bigger than I expected! Kind of awful to put together though :lol: I'll be replacing the metal chains but I have those materials already.

He was a little nervous as first but I put it next to his cage with some almonds and it took all of a minute before he was checking it out!

Yeah he's used to me hiding food all over his area so he checks out every crevice LOL

Awww he took right to it. I love it when they do that.

He's so eager to try out everything. Most easy going bird I've ever had!

New window to look out from my bedroom! He also came and explored the bed since Lydia was in the other part of the house :)

That's really nice. Do you think it's big enough for a goffin?

It's marketed for eclectus, Greys, and Amazons but I'm terrible with imagining anything larger than Ripley lol. I will say that the pegs and ladder rungs are only about 3/4" thick

Thanks. I have been debating about getting Elvis a play stand but didn't want to spend a lot of money on one in case he ignores it. Which is quite possible.
