Oh everyone, let's see the playgyms you're birdies have! I LOVE looking at Playgyms and stealing all the great ideas, so be forewarned.

Here are some of my mine!

Grace's (minus the big metal one and the jolly ball, both of which terrified her, so we donated them to a bird rescue):

ooo those play areas look fun!!!!
I wish I could attach or get ceiling ones but my ceilings are so high (chicken of getting on a ladder that would reach 2 stories).

Ooh Great thread Becky! I bought some materials last week and am preparing to make one for Casey! ... now I just need some good ideas!

Your's look great! Thanks for sharing!

Becky? On Dale's play gym...did you make that yourself? And do you have a bigger picture that I can see? When I click on it, it still comes up small and I can't see the details

Here's a better size of Dale's gyms... I couldn't add all the images from Photobucket so I attached them, but then they are so small!



We used a bread tray for the bottom and some romping ropes I bought from someone I met on the CaiqueCrazy forum who makes and sells them (I have her email if you want it).

I will post a pic of Julies playstand later because i have to go now. Gizmos is connected to the cage not very fancy but hers i bought at the store.

That looks really cool. All of them do. I was thinking about using one of those plant holders, the ones made out of yarn. I thought I could stretch it out and place toys on it.

can you attach a bigger picture of Pablo's play area? It looks very cool~!

Ok just remember YOU asked to see them, so no shooting me. A little warning: my fids are spoiled absolutely rotten and I make just about all their toys myself, thank goodness you didn't ask to see home made toys, I'd be here all night. Ok here goes.

My atom ball for my tiels, and a budgie I had a while ago, might be to small for the Quaker though........



Yes all the toys are hand made, and the atom ball is hand made, the only thing not hand made is the plastic mirror toy.

And now for the playstand.........

I am still slowly adding more stuff to the playstand, but for now it works.
I tried to warn you that my fids are spoiled absolutely rotten. So any endeavers these pic. might make you do, can not be blamed on the poster LOL.

Gosh, I've been looking at much smaller gyms, with various ladders, perches and toys. Yours look much more interesting...but I doubt I would be good at doing that yet. Perhaps in the future I can give it a go!

You have some very lucky birds!

Those are all wonderful!!! Can you show Monet's gym in the larger picture? And what did you use for the atom ball? I want to steal some of your ideas they are great! What a wonderful imagination you have to come up with all those!

Those are really neat! I'd share mine but they are nowhere as neat as those! I bet your fids have hours of fun!

The atom ball was actually very easy, I used 4 craft hoops and then wrapped them with really small poly rope (compliments of hubby) it took forever to wrap.

To make it bigger you could use flexible plastic tubing, and then just wrap that also.

We got our Atom's from http://www.motherpluckinbirdtoys.com/.

I LOVE the atom LethalFire posted. Did you make it? How?


I love seeing playgyms! Even little ones!

Okay, here's one all of my birds (parrotlet, cockatiel and quakers) use individually. Made from a untreated wooden dish rack you can buy at WalMart or Target or Big Lots for about $8. Toys are attached with the plastic ties (ends cut) wooden spoons for perches.
