As promised, I've got pictures of the bird area/My Nest as I call it :D

I recently purchased my home this summer, and I'm SO glad that I finally have the liberty to set things up the way I want! Once the basement was finished, I was a bit at a loss of how I wanted to set it up. I'd wanted to add a bathroom down here, but just ran out of time (and funds) to get it completed and decided it could be a project for a later date. So, with that project on hold, it was time to get the area set up for the birds!

Before- The birds just had their cages, and nothing else:

Work in process, marking the spots on the ceiling for the GaG net (and Remy, who refused to go back in his cage :rolleyes:

Our (incredibly jealous) project supervisor, who needed HOURS of snuggling, a Pup Cup from DQ, AND a new toy to compensate for what the birds got:

Getting stuff all hung up!:

My view this morning from my desk, which makes my heart SO glad:

Now I have mountains of cleaning to do, I pulled out a bunch of old foraging toys that I need to re-string with chain and replace the screws on (they rusted in storage!), but I will be hanging them on the various playgyms, and making a few skewer toys as well! It's still a work in progress for sure, but I"m so proud of what we've got set up so far!

Thank you! It's still a work in process but I really like it so far. The fids approve too!

Thank you! I highly recommend it, though I've been told it's a good thing I'm not on "the dating market" as this may be a little overwhelming on a first date :lol:

Looks great - love the ladder!
Thanks! I'm trying to remember where I got it...Oliver's Garden, maybe? my Senegal LOVES it, he patrols back and forth on it. I made sure to put it closest to my desk and the door to "The Nest" as he prefers to be closer to me rather than running around and playing with toys. :)

There should be a dating site for bird people only :hehe: I know there was general animal people one. But birds people need their own section as we totally out crazy dog people and cat people :laughing13:

Great set up by the way :tup:

I've seen one for lizard keepers. There was talk on one of the tarantula forums about needing one. Not everyone understands, "Love me, love my boa," but it gets to a whole 'nother level with "Love me, love my T.!"

Thanks everyone! Just need to finish off where the rolling playstand should go, and that back corner :thinking: But it's all coming together and the birdies are super excited about it!
