BYEBYE
Here is an Atom hubby and I made out of PVC connectors, bendable PVC pipe and Vetwrap! It was EASY!! You can pretty much make it any size for all different birds! I don't have it hung yet(it is pretty stable on its side)....that is another project just figuring out where to hang it in Mékhé & Mali's every expanding jungle! They seem to enjoy it!

Oh WOOOOOOOO! where do you get vetwrap? all the toys I make are made with jute twine and a half hitch with give great footholds but that looks fun too please post where I can find it.

You can get vetwrap at Petsmart if they have a horse department or any place that sells vet supplies/horse supplies. It's cheap too $1.49 a roll and comes in lots of colors. I bought it at Petsmart but I know Atwoods(farm supply) sells it too.

I can see where that would be real easy to do. Although i didnt know they made bendable pvc pipe. Gonna check it out next time in town. Does the bendable come in longer lengths and you cut it yourself to desired length?. Just curious what to look for.

I have had many requests for directions...so here's directions for all!! smile.gif

Here is what I did. Bought 10 feet of flexible 5/8 PVC(see pic) and cut them into 8 inch sections(You can do Larger for the CAG or smaller for lovies/parrotlets ect ...8 inch good for Senegal/QP and tiel size) I bought 6 half inch(1/2) cross connectors and linked them together into the atom form and then wrapped with vetwrap. There is no need to use any kind of glue because it is a tight fit and it makes it easier if you ever need to remove to clean. Let me know if you need anymore help! You can also get different diameter PVC pipe if you want larger or smaller, if you do make sure you find the cross connectors that fit snuggly.
Thanks,
Kay
