Playstand Design?

[Kinny]

Just sketched it up earlier this evening. Would be large enough for Eclectus/Macaw. But smaller parrots (like Kakariki/Princess) would still have loads of fun on it.

The 'nestbox' designed box will have 3 'holes' which are shown.
The 'box' would be made out of Pine Ply-wood
The legs will be Pine
Fine sandpaper will be attached to one of the perches
Perches will be made from thick pine dowel
The 'criss-crossed' stuff on the inside of the box below the circular hole will be wire mesh
Ladders made out of pine dowel
The hanging pony-tailed stuff will be thick rope
Pine base - with a thin layer of sand over the top for easy cleaning

So what do you think?

I think it looks like a great playground

That looks AWESOME! I can't wait to see this one when it's all finished

Thank you ladies! (assuming you are both female..? Lol)

I thought about adding feed bowls but then i figured itd be best for the birds to learn that food is in the cage, and treats are with me (for training purposes).

Thanks Probably won't be done for a couple of months though have to build an incubator first!

It looks great so far
Sure you will still add lots more as you go along
Can't wait for the end result

Thanks Ant! I may end up making a completely separate playstand, but one that can he attached to the other and create a Playstand Play Mania of Madness!

Incubator is almost done. PVA/water coating is done, middle slot done (since we only have 1 chick about to be incubated we don't need that extra space/extra electricity use for the lightbulb, so we placed a divider in the middle) and now all we have to do is drill one small hole to insert the Thermostat. I'll post photos when it's done! It's a decent size.. could easily incubate a large macaw til it's fine enough to be in normal room temperatures.
