Default The Orbiter - hanging gym

I just opened up my latest Drs. Foster and Smith catalogue and the hanging gym that I have for my guys is now being offered through them (for $16.99). Some have seen pics of my gym and ask where I got it from, and I ordered it from a store out in CA awhile ago (found it through something else in a magazine).

But it's similar to the Hoopball that many of you have made for your larger birds, and this is a great small version for the tiny guys.

Both Jerry and Lulu love this gym:

hummmmmmm that looks great! What do you think of it for Ollie? He is 164 grams. Body size, he is wider then my tiel, but shorter.
I think my tiel is too old and would be frightened. He doesnt like change much.

It might be ok for Ollie. Lulu is 96 grams. She loves to climb in the middle and sit there. If anything, Ollie could hang off of it like a monkey, Lulu does that too.

Drs. Foster & Smith size it as "Parakeet to Conure."

thanks! I will look into it. I wanted to order some fleese pj's for my neighbors dog(long story) through Dr's F&S as a parting gift from me because she has been such a dear lady to me since living here. She loves her dog just like I do my babies, and her dog has lots of outfits. I dont think she has Pj's tho!

Lisa I think it would be too small- I saw one at a birdstore once but opted for a bigger, yet more simplistic swing- it doesnt have all the neato built in toys that yours has Sarah.

think so? You are the caique lady, so you would know....
I have never seen one in real life, so I dont have a clue. I will ask F&S when I call about sizing. Thanks!

On Drs. Fosters Smith Website it says its only 7 1/2 inch diamater- the one I saw was pretty much a perfect circle so it cant be more then 8 inches tall.
