Wow looks like some medieval torture contraption, might be worth sanding down the paint as it looks leaded

AJ ~ Dude, are you Superman, with the Xray vision? Mighty impressive!

Patti ~ Regarding the colour scheme mentioned on your jute thread, I think wrapping with natural jute is going to go fine with the rooms pictured here. Love the gym, love the use of hose! You've obviously earned your "Crafty Mama" badge! I'd keep an eye out for wood toys naturally dyed any deep colour, and maybe some dark beads for your homemade toys to accessorize. Don't kid me - I KNOW you're going to be making toys! :D

Thanks guys. I'm going to get some more natural jute. I might find some Vet wrap in a neutral color too. My hands are killing me right now from Macrame'ing the jute on. But it's a work in progress. And yes on the toys! Gracie has a multitude of toys. You should SEE my house! I need a Gracie room but it's not happening. But anyway, more pics to come. This particular gym is going in the MOM Cave where my colors are Pink, Black, Beige. I want to find a beautiful tree gym for over her cage in the main living area where she calls home...... somehow. somewhere.

That looks awesome!!! Can't wait to see it finished. I was going to suggest the vet wrap but saw that you already thought of it. I use it on my shower perches. That is one lucky bird :D

Your birds are lucky too. My birds just have to learn to hold on to the excess hula hoop pipe that I made their shower perches from! Hence why we keep long nails and have the occasional mishap where someone ends up on the shower floor :lol:

Wow! I've not been here in such a while. I've been soooooo busy! Gracie has grown into an awesome bird. She enjoys her hanging gym quite often. It is in the "Mom Cave"...heres the final pic. Sorry it's taken so long to post. Turned out great.
