A treat for your birds

[Mazziemom]

Since we moved to the new house I've been looking for new ways to give the birds the things they are used to having... without having them take over my living room again. I love sharing with them, but on occasion its nice to have a place for the people... so I didn't want to hang toys or boings from the ceiling in there.

So, we tried this:



Works like a charm. Now, we have portable boings. Thats the one I have set up for the smaller birds, we also have one set up for the big guys. These are very stable, my blue and gold had his swinging like mad and it didn't tip at all. Alice played on the little bird one tonight, and tomorrow I'll see what Mazzie thinks of it.

Cheap, easy, and portable play area. Exactly what I like to have available to me! The stands are "cage stands" , bought off ebay, and the boings I buy from the places I trust.

You could use those garden pot hangers too for a stand I have one of those .. I might have to look into getting some boings! lol cute toy cute name .. and what a stunning bird too .. love how long that tail is.. thanks for sharing that Athena.

That's a great idea!!! I've been trying to think of some way to do just this very thing! Posey the irn and Ruby the ekkie LOVE their boings...their cages are large enough that each one of them has a boing inside their cages but I would also like to set one up that they can play on when one is on the play gym...so the other one can play too. Do you sit it on anything...you know...for keeping poo off the carpet?

They fit perfectly on a tray meant to go under your water heater... Home Depot, 10 bucks
