Default Grapevines ~ New perch/gym - or maybe not
I made this gym/perch because their old one is looking pretty chewed.



It's surprisingly stable but the leather knots do loosen over time. I replaced the old 'perch' part on their old gym with a new piece of Grapevine - so this one isn't being used right now.



Laker & Rio both like it - maybe I'll alternate the gyms until i decide. I was also thinking of dismantling it & trying for another configuration altogether....

The beauty of having pocket sized birds for sure.

Yup it's hard to make stuff like that for the big guys. But that is really cool. Almost makes me want a tiny bird so I can get all the cute stuff...hehe.

But your bird looks really cool in a Christmas tree! Maybe you could re-work the tree after Christmas - if it's safe for them.

Eventually everyone wants a Budgie -even tho they resisted. Resistance is futile!
