It is, we think thats what aided in finally getting him to play on the thing. Its been in his room for two months. He has that same raw-hide toy in his cage and he loves it. So when I was out and about yesterday I came across another one and my husband decided to hang it in the middle of the hoop-ball. The rest is history.

That is so cool. He looks like he is going to have a blast with it. I can't even imagine the work that went into making that. At least your efforts are being enjoyed now.

Julien, thank you and"yes" he is a Miligold. He has been with us for about three months now. He will be 2 next month. Tom. it only took my husband about an hour to make it... that was two months ago. He has even made smaller ones for my smaller macaws. They just love them. I obtained the directions from a couple of very helpful board members. If you would like I could PM the directions to you.

Ooh Kelly I'd love the instructions for the hoop! Your husband did a great job! My husband who never liked birds spent 2 hours making a perchstand tonight. Totally his idea, I've turned him into a bird lover! This could be his next project lol.
