Should be pretty straight forward to make with the right tools, I just can't be bothered right now so I buy it "made" :)

Zuri loves it!

I bought it from a vendor at the Canadian Parrot Conference that was held three weeks ago. Not sure they have a website..

The company that makes the toy is Zoo-Max.

This is the smallest size available, it 10"x10"x10". There are two bigger sizes as well, don't remember the dimensions off the top of my head.
