just made this tree play-stand for my Conures and Lovebirds. I used Dogwood and Tulip Tree wood from my backyard. first I cut the pieces i wanted of the dogwood that had fallen down a few days ago and I already had some tulip tree wood on a different play-stand that I didn't like so I used some of that. Then I rinsed with a hose and then scrubbed it with eco friendly soap and rinsed repeated that twice. I let it dry in my sunroom. I then cut some pieces of the Tulip Tree wood and screwed a forked piece on to the original one and a little perch on the middle of the forked one. Then I screwed it down to a wood platform with 4 screws, two in the tree at the bottom, one in the wood piece at the bottom, one through the tree and wood piece. I then attaches a rope to it my birds like and next comes some toys onto it! I put a blanket over something so I could get better pics I haven't decided where to put it in the bird-room yet.

cool looks like its gonna be really nice yea I am always making stuff for them cause i have the time and materials and its so much cheaper!
 
im still in the thinking stages on this one,
but im leaning towards velcro, to attach the side walls.

plexi/lexan walls for the winter.....
screen panels (framed) for summer time.

ive been thinking of a way to put a heating stone in the bottom somewhere, like a reptile rock,

to keep them warm in the winter, an let them get some outdoor time on the porch
