I have heard, read and watched videos on how to make training perches as well as play gyms out of PVC, I have even been to a shop on a breeding farm with a square play pen for the babies made out of PVC (not necessarily intended for playing on, but to make an small enclosure for the babies).
Now, I have done a lot of research on this topic and it seems that there isn't a simple answer on whether PVC is bad for birds or not?
I would like to make a play gym and training perch for my Senegal parrot (she's 4 months old and a chewer) and I would like to know if it would be safe to use PVC and wrap it with something for grip and less direct exposure to the PVC, or should I rather use a non-toxic wood? If so, which wood would be the best for this purpose?
Thanks.
