congrats on the baby on the way!

Thank you! If you find anything that you feel would work, I'd like two. Will pay a little extra if need be. I am thinking, something that would screw into or claps around the wood.
I don't even know if there's a such thing but I need it to be. The same applies here... If I find anything worth getting or mentioning I'll let you know immediately.

There are PVC cups which have an area at the bottom for a nut and bolt to attach it to the perch... which works great cause you can even use water in these! Since the bolt doesn't actually go ALL the way through the PVC!

Sounds good but I think that I saw these and they wouldn't work. But just to make sure, do you think that you could find me a picture and location of what your talking about. I need the bowls badly! I'd greatly appreciate your help.

There's also this one... but I'm not entirely sure if it's "water proof" or not...
Bird Playstands: Parrot Playstand Replacement Cup

I'm not really sure where one would buy them as people don't normally sell cups for playstands... however, if it's a big bird expo, then one might be able to find them there... or maybe at some bird shops... I know I saw some when I was down in Vegas... they were of the PVC type shown in first pic (which isn't all too clear).

Thank you Monica. I will look into the first one. I saw the one from Foster's and Smith while doing a mass search. I wasn't sure if it came with the screw or was it just the replacement cup. I'll call them in the morning. I also found some forging cups but they had holes in the bottem to be creative with. They wouldn't work.

Jim, that's a really cute cage. I am sure that Zoey will love it.

Bobbie loves his dome top. It has a flat lay down part in the front-I call his Patio. I hang special toys close to that, so can easily access them. You do have to keep a rug underneath though. For a cockatoo-I love them. More room to roam, and toys are hung above them, instead of in their face. It may be wise to have an off the cage stand of sorts however if you get a dome top.

Here's the best of both worlds: Split Level House Bird Cage w/ Playtop & Divider LC-GC24228 PC4226 Bird Cage - FREE SHIPPING!. It's something I saw on another forum and would like to get one myself. The poster said she loved it. It looks perfect to me.

i personally like dome tops. they give more inside space, which is mostly what i worry about since the birds spend all day in their cages while we are gone. while we are at home, the birds have free reign of the bird room. with dome tops, you can get a nice high perch in there, which is where most birds like to spend their time, and they wont hit their heads on the top of their cage. i think the play tops that come with the cages are too small and are very limited as far as hanging toys on it goes. we have other play stands that the birds can play on, or we just lay out a big "poopy" blanket on the bed and throw out all of our birds' "playtime toys", and they end up having a ton of space to play on, more toys to play with, and with the play gyms, they have diff levels that they can climb up and down, and we also add a bunch of eye hooks to diff parts of the stand so they can have several toys too :)
