Climbing net

[Anna]

I think I would like to buy a Get a grip climbing net for my Senegal parrots. For those who own one, do your birds like it? Which size is best for Sennies?

[myakando]

All my birds LOVE this net! The size would kinda be personal preference.... space you have available for the net, budget....etc. but neither you or your Sennie will be disappointed

Skeeter, I'd love to see the DIY climbing net link! I would love one, but am blown away by how expensive they are. Just rope that has to be tied right basically...

I'd love to make one as well my only concern is what kind of rope to use? (obviously natural materials and not plastics)

okay well here is the link or adress i dont know how to make a link
http://www.birdtricks.com/blog/how-to-make-a-climbing-net-for-your-parrot/ im only thirteen so its really really easy and fun to make it probably cost me about 20 bucks and its about 2 feet by 3 feet but you can make it as big as you want to. it only took me about 3 days to make i'll try to get pictures if you want. i got the rope from here: [i]http://www.greyfeathertoys.com/cgi-bin/quikstore.cgi?category=Toy_Parts_-_Leather_and_Rope&search=yes&template=database_leatherrope [/i] i bought 100 feet of 1/4 cotton rope you can the rope from other places and it might be cheaper but make sure to make sure its birdsafe thats why i got it from a birdtoy store. heres another company that sells rope: https://www.birdsupplynh.com/catalog/index.php?cPath=23_93_96&osCsid=e682d9d7a3bb8fd90b891fdc6e048277

Yeah, at first I was planning on making my own climbing net, but I found it very hard to find suitable rope. And when I finally found it, it would be almost as expensive as buying the net from a bird store.

That's where I got my rope! I also got some toy parts to put on the rope. I laid out the pieces of string at the size I wanted them and then I used zip ties at all the places the rope crossed on the inside, I ended up tying the outside. It was super easy. Took me maybe about a half hour to do and I think I spend like $20 on a net that's about 3 feet x 2.5 feet

Here's a pic.
