home made grapevine toy

i discovered a grapevine in my backyard i never knew was there.....so i used my imagination and well.....here is the outcome!

this is the grapevine
Image

grapes should be ready by autumn
Image

as is extremely flexible its easy to make into stuff but its as hard as rock when dries
Image

all bent and zip tied until it dries (took just over a week) one for my budgie and one for my lorikeet
Image

some extras im going to add once the grapevine has dried
Image

all dry (took 9 days)
Image

with toys added
Image

Jango approves
Image


this cost me $6 the bell balls cost me $2 for 8 the jax cost me $2 for 20 and the zip ties cost me $2 so i could make more than 2

it shouldn't be a problem as long as it hasn't been sprayed with anything
