Playgym recommendations (bottlebrush)?

[Izzy]

Hey everyone!

I recently added an 11-year-old female Meyers Parrot to my flock (which also includes a 3-year-old female cockatiel). I currently have play areas on top of both of their cages, plus a play area in my bedroom on top of my pet rabbit's cage, and a Wingdow. Lil spends most of her time on her cage or the Wingdow...the tiel had already kinda claimed the play area in my room (it has a Java branch and a big rope perch).

I wanted to get Lily, my meyers, a bottlebrush gym from Wayne..however, he is no longer selling them online. So, now I need to find something comparable (doesn't have to be bottlebrush), and I am TOTALLY lost! I had always planned on getting a bottlebrush gym when I got a parrot, and he closed down his site literally DAYS before I found out Lil was coming home!

I've looked around and I love the Java trees, but I live in a small apartment so I need something on the smaller side. I'm not even sure where I have room for one. But I need something that will give her room to explore and forage. It also needs to have a stand (or be something that I could build a stand for).

I might look into making a gym as well, but I would really recommend any and all suggestions! Thanks!

wow...i just got his gym a few months ago for my caique..didn't know he wasn't selling them on-line anymore? my caique loves this stand!!!! it's his second home away from his cage! did he go out of business? hope you can find something comparable as this truly is a great playstand.

I know! I'm so upset! I think he might be selling to local stores, he said the shipping wasn't worth it.

I wish I could get a bottlebrush gym, as I think Lily would LOVE it. I'm so sad about it!

I recently bought a bottle brush gym from Wayne (around January, I think) and wrote a review of it on my blog. I've had quite a few people leave replies or email me since then all trying to figure out how to contact Wayne b/c they really want to buy a gym but can't figure out how. He seems to have fallen off the face of the earth, for all intents and purposes. Too bad. I think his product is amazing. I'm glad I was able to get one before he stopped selling online.

I will be selling these gyms soon.

You'll be selling bottlebrush gyms? Awesome! I will be waiting (though I can't promise that I'll be patient about it!).

Are you making your own, or are you a distributor for Wayne? Will they be on your Ebay site, or is there somewhere else I should be checking? Thanks!

I just got one of Wayne's gyms today. Got it from the Golden Cockatoo. I love it. My Bird still needs to "see" it for a few days before she will try getting close to it. She is a grey that needs new items to be around awhile.

Best investment I ever made. Stewie can be kind of a "fraidy bird" too, but as soon as he got on it, he was in LUV! First thing he does now when I open his cage door is fly to his bottle brush stand. Congrats on the purchase!
