Very Cool Play Area



Paul Engineering the Pulley System

  During the winter, play areas were lacking in the living room. I would wheel up a small playgym and open the cage door to allow a parrot some out-of-cage time or, just let them play on top of the cage. This just wasn't good enough.  And yet, I didn't want a clumsy stand with a huge platform that is always dirty and in the way.  When some magnificent manzanita came my way... I thought out loud how great it would be to have a suspended play area that I could pull up and down as needed.  Paul, my son and fabricator of all things, gave it some thought and voila!  I now have exactly what I imagined! 
Obviously the whole apparatus is quite "scary" and I plan to let the parrots just take it in for a while before placing one of them on it. Baby steps are always best.
