My version of Wayne's Gym!

Hi guys,

Well I just got fed up of people ranting about how much their bird's love Wayne's bottlebrush playgyms. I refused to pay so much for them! And I wanted one very badly. So, my bf and I decided to do it ourselves. Everything we used was stainless steel and it is very sturdy and on wheels!

I have to put better toys on there but that's what I stuck on for now. It took about a week to complete because we wanted to make sure everything was done well enough.

You can see my children on it. Gigi is enjoying her pistachio while Chimney is thinking of foraging on the bottom for crumbs!

So frustrating..I am trying to get these pictures rotated to sit straight and it just won't work. Sorry they are sideways....

Thanks...it cost close to $100 and because of my bf's work schedule, it took us a week....we wanted to make sure we were doing everything right.

Well, it looks great! The fids seem to like it as well.

Wow, that's really impressive. The bottom tray looks fantastic! Well done. (I have a Wayne's "original" and love it... or rather, my birds love it. Absolutely no way I could have recreated it though. Hats off to you!)
