He is such a lucky boy, nice work.

May I ask where you ordered the net from?? I gave up looking and just minutes ago 450 feet of rope that I ordered arrived so I can make my own.

OMG!! I did look at MSBS before, but clearly was failing in my search ability. I do now see it and they have one that is very close to what I wanted. On the bright side I saved a few dollars, but only because I have to spend many hours doing it myself. Lesson learned. Thank you for the info!

One of our local stores has one of these nets. They have it set up in a way that just makes for a classy jungle theme. I really like how it turned out for them. I don't know why they aren't more popular.

So this is when it was half tied up, so really loose, but i couldnt get him off it hahaha

and then i finally got it into a bigger hook and then it straightened up more!

So this is one side of Fargos room - he didnt want to be in this photo, was sitting on my shoulder

My safe bird store actually only got them recently Maybe a month or so ago, so you might of just missed out with timing hahaha They also had rope dangly things at the same time which i wanted to get, but didnt end up ordering from them!

Looks great tab! Fargo looks like he enjoys it a lot.

 

[tab_xo]

He came down, gave me a cuddle for a little bit, and now hes back at it, getting more adventurous this time

 

[Jtbirds]

Lol his tail bending on the window. he sure is enjoying it. Tab your such a good fargo mom

I have been meaning to looking into getting something like this for my birds, they arent as big as your boy though , I ordered this for $78.04 4725 - 25mm (±1") Hemp Rope - Natural Hemp Products - Hemp Basics including shipping and am going to make my own! hopefully it will look somewhat like yours and my birds will love it as much as yours does!

 

[Jtbirds]

Just a warning I went to make one of these once and I gave up lol, it is very tedious and annoying honestly. I'd rather just buy one in the end I just bought another hanging playgym that my macaws love. If you are determined to spend like 4-5 hours then go for it. Maybe even more sadly, it's why they are so pricey to buy.

How To Make A Climbing Net For Your Parrot im going partially off how they did it. I figured it would take forever Im going to do it on a Saturday I never do anything but play with my birds all day then anyways

Thanks Justin

Yes i thought about making my own, but then the time and effort that would have to be put into it made be just buy it, its much easier to just click 'buy it now' hahaha

 

[Jtbirds]

Sounds good, yeah I had a pattern to, maybe it's you know that guy thing about sucking at being craft oriented. although I make some pretty cool toys that was not one on my finished list. Have fun and let us know how it turns out

See i cant even make toys, i am the least creative person there is, i am good at designing his set up though, but thats about it

 

[tab_xo]

Oh wow his paper toy was a hit, he loves it!
A 10 dollar toy and hes happy He just loves destroying that wall, i have tried putting toys and big tree branches, which he destroys in seconds, but finally something has kept him occupied!

He started out calm, just rolling it out

then a bit further....

and of course he turns into an acrobat with it

 

[Pinkbirdy]

What a great idea !! I dont see too many of those around.

@blackhawk007, where'd you get that 450 ft of rope? (And how much was it?) I got a burst of inspiration....I can make bird toys that double as "modern art pieces" for this sculpture class I have this upcoming quarter.... then keep them crated and clean afterwards for when my fid comes.

This net was Abaca rope and not sure of the rope size ! but the one on my safe bird store which also 4 foot by 8 foot with abaca rope said 1" rope and the spaces are 7" by 7"

Good luck!!

 

[blackhawk007]

The Abaca is likely the most appropriate to use if you can get your hands on that stuff.
