I hope this works. I made to seagrass play areas one small fo my Gc Tango
And a larger one for my IRN Pegasus.
Picture 1 small
Picture 2 large
Next picture is the items to make it.
The seagrass is large but the have small also.
The plastic rings come in a big bag, you can make few of them things with the bag.
The wooden blocks are all different shapes and colors.
You have crinkle paper nice size bag. If you look you can see a plastic zip tie.
The wooden blocks the hole is to small and not in the right spot for the chain. You have to drill a hole closer to the edge.
Some of the smaller blocks will fit on the links. But it blocks the open of the link.
The following pictures show putting the links together and how a block can hang.
Also the chain is connected to the seagrass, I have some links below the seagrass with a block.
I take a hand full of crinkle paper put it up to the chain put a zip tie around the paper and go through the link and tighten the zip tie. Don't worry about tightening it to tight. Your parrot will still destroy it.
In this picture I only used a small amount of paper.
I hope this gives you and idea how to
I did this because both my parrots that has this in there cage, really enjoying it.
Now I am going to make ones for the others.

Oh these are really nice but the larger parrots in my flock have a tendency to chew while investigating new things, I am worried about the plastic chains getting eaten.

I tend to just use outright metal chains + metal binder rings meant for scrapbooks. They have many different sizes and work very well in my experience.

Looks great! I bought a seagrass mat that was per filled for Sebastian and we are currently on day 6 of "It's too scary to even make eye contact with" :laugh: But he skirts around it now when moving around the cage so some progress, your guys seem a lot happier with the seagrass mats!
