Thanks! I was worried he wasn't going to even touch it; turns out he loved it!

Yesterday he was trying to get his baby toy and was practically almost hanging upside down!

Here's another picture, sorry it's not very good but you can kinda see how far the branches go...

Looks Good.

What is it that you wrap the pvc with?

Looks Good.

What is it that you wrap the pvc with?

It's self-adherent medical wrap...you can get it at pet stores or from your vet

That looks great! Looks similar to the one I made. We must have used the same book!

I saw the picture of yours, and it was my inspiration I didn't use a book though

that looks amazing! how did you attach the branches to the pvc?

Thanks! I used branches that would fit snugly, but the ones that had a little wiggle I wrapped them lightly with the vet wrap and then crammed them in and wrapped the whole joint tightly with more vet wrap.

Can you post a link to that? And what book? (I still need something along those lines…)

Nice jungle gym. Any way you can send instructions and a list of things I would need to make a jungle gym? A jungle gym for birds would be good to have around.

I did some searching for Blanca's thread- here's the link for the book she used: [ame="http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/0967882001/ref=redir_mdp_mobile/177-2732479-5992545?keywords=parrot%20book%20toy&qid=1369923506&ref_=sr_1_2&sr=8-2&tag=viglink127503-20"]Parrot-Toys and Play Areas : How To Put Some Fun Into Your Parrot's Life:Amazon:Books[/ame]

I don't really have any instructions that I followed for mine, but I slightly copied Blanca's... She used a book ([ame="http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/0967882001/ref=redir_mdp_mobile/177-2732479-5992545?keywords=parrot%20book%20toy&qid=1369923506&ref_=sr_1_2&sr=8-2&tag=viglink127503-20"]Parrot-Toys and Play Areas : How To Put Some Fun Into Your Parrot's Life:Amazon:Books[/ame])
I used 3/4" PVC, you'll need straight piping, various 3/4" couplers -T's, 4 ways, corners, etc., a way to cut the PVC (a hand saw or saws all works...I used a band saw). Get some self-adhering medical wrap from the pet store or your vet. You'll also need a way to attach toys...I slipped key rings over the PVC so I could attach toys to those.
Here's the link to Jackie's tabletop stand that has dishes (if you want dishes on the jungle gym): http://www.parrotforums.com/showthread.php?t=32539
