Pvc play gym for my bird?
Hi, i want to know some stuff about building a pvc play gym. It will have NO glue on it becuase i am afraid of the bird getting poisoned. Can You show me some pictures, or help me with ideas on how to build the pvc play gym? I want it to look awesome. My dad has pvc pipe and i will be helping him build it. Can you tell me how long, and wide the pvc pipe should be? It will be for a female Mexican Red Headed Amazon. I want to know how thick/big the pvc pipe should be so it will feel comfortable gripping the pipe. Also, i have heard of using like cohesive bandage to put over the pvc pipe as a grip, but what alternatives can i use for this?
Hello,
You can just connect them all and make it into like a maze at the bottom, and then make it go up and form it into a tree. That is what I did, and my birds loved it! Like at the bottom put a series of pipes together and twist and turn them so she can scooch around and stuff. The pout a center on it. And you can put a long pip up in the middle, so it goes up high. Then add attachments to the side that center piece so she can climb up to the top. And then at the top of the center piece, make it like a tree. Make all these limbs come off of it, and add fake plants or toys!
The pipe should be at least one or two feet long, And it should be four or five inches wide. The bird’s feet shouldn’t be able to go completely around the pipe because it can cause deformities that way. It should also be very long because they love to play, and they will need a lot of room for that! Also, everything shouldn’t be scrunched up together and that’s why it should be long. It would make it a lot harder to play!
Use both or your hands to make a circle. That is how round and thick the PVC pipe should be! That will be good enough so your bird doesn’t get foot problems, And it is a good grip size! But make sure that it isn’t too big, or your bird will have flat feet.
Cohesive bandage is really good! You can also try wound wraps, that is really good, too. Try using a cloth, or material, that won’t slip on the pipe. This will help keep your bird’s feet warm, and it isn’t rough on the feet! Bandages can be really rough for their feet, and can rub it raw. Maybe try using a thick cloth.

Tips for Setting up A Bird Aviary
An aviary is not exactly a cage. It is an enclosed sanctuary that allows the birds to fly freely and interact with other birds. Birds prefer to flock together and enjoy the company of their own kind. Birds with similar temperaments and characteristics stay well in aviaries. Aviaries offer them a more natural environment with the freedom to fly. We see aviaries in zoos and wildlife sanctuaries. Some people also set up aviaries in their backyards, gardens, or even inside their homes, if they have a large enough space for it. There are some basic instructions that you need to know before setting up a domestic aviary:
-
You need to understand that you are opting for an emotional, physical and financial commitment when you set up an aviary. This implies that the birds will have to be fed regularly, to be taken to the doctor when required, and they have to be given time.
-
You need to remember that the kind of birds you wish to keep in your aviary need to suit your home environment and your lifestyle. It is advisable that you talk to experts about the temperament and other characteristics of the birds. For instance if you stay in a small apartment then you will need smaller birds that can be taken care of easily at home. Large predatory or migratory birds are not an option for you in this case.
-
You will need to clean the aviary at regular intervals so that the birds stay healthy. In their natural habitat, the birds stay clean and healthy because of sunshine and rain. However, an aviary needs regular cleaning of the floor, the covering, and the food and water containers.
-
In order to keep your aviary clean, you will need newspaper or bird bedding, soft rags, mild soap, spray bottles, vinegar and household bleach. If you need to disinfect the aviary then you will need to relocate the birds to another spot so that the fumes do not harm the birds.
You will find aviaries of different sizes and types in the market. You should opt for the one that ensures you optimum use, durability, quality, easy maintenance and safety. You need to be well informed about the material, dimensions and other accessories offered in the package. Online stores give you information about the various designs, categories, and prices of bird aviaries. Have a clear understanding of the shipping policy, delivery policy, guarantee and exchange policy of the company. Make a well informed choice to give your birds a safe and pleasurable environment to live in.

What kind of paint is used to paint bird play gyms?
Here’s an example of what I’m talking about:
http://www.worldforpets.com.au/uploads/products/98-31056_00021_hero.jpg
That’s a good question. This particular play gym looks like it is dyed with food coloring . I myself prefer the plain ones. If the plain ones get dirty they can be wiped off and sanded. The food color dyed ones are safe but with many of them if they get wet the dye will come off on the bird. To repaint anything for a bird like a cage go to a good paint store and get child safe paint. It will have a pic of a mother holding the hand of a child walking with her.

Promised Land [CD-ROM] Queensryche’s follow-up to the double-platinum Empire is something of an acquired taste, but it’s well worth the effort. There’s considerable variety here; the heavy progressive-rock of “I Am I” and the ballad “Bridge” were hit singles, but there’s also the funk-inflected “Disconnected”, the edgy, spooky “Lady Jane”, and the piano-and-vocals “Someone Else?”. The title track is probably the stronge… |
