Used Play/Tree Stands?

[Budgie33]

I have been looking for play/tree stands for a while now, since I think it would be better for Indie to have a play/tree stand rather than sitting on the windowsill or top of her cage. I heard some people have gotten some great second-hand stands for much less than it would be to get a new stand. Does anyone on AA have any natural wood tree/play stands that aren't needed anymore? Thank you!

If you have access to branches and a few power tools, you could try building your own play tree. Not much harder than making a coat rack.

This is a basic guide:

Mini Christmas tree stand ($15 or so on Amazon) + a fallen branch from a bird-safe species of tree (disinfected at home) = natural bird gym/tree We have one in the corner of our Family Room that neither bird really cares for It looks great, though, and didn't cost much so I don't mind... all that much

I just bought a huge java tree stand.

In my area they go for $600+ and I bought it for $160!
It needs a clean but it's in really great shape.
My only concern certain is making sure that it gets disinfected properly because the woman has an African grey who didn't like it.

Clean it with 50/50 vinegar and water, then douse generously with F10, Pet Focus, or 10:1 diluted bleach (not splashless). The F10 is my favorite as it does not need to be rinsed. I would rinse with the other two. And if possible, let it sit in the sun for a day to dry well and use the UV to help break down the bleach or any other lasting residue.
