Building my first playgym - need ideas

[Jumper]

Hello everyone! I'm wanting to build my amazon a playgym of some sort.. I was thinking about probably doing PVC since it seems easiest for me at the moment (and cheap!) I'm not the most handy person in the world, though I'm not awful either so I'm pretty sure I can figure something nice out.

I know I really want to make something that incorporates a boing (or other rope/climbing thing) in some way and someplace to hang a couple toys. i don't want it to have too much going on though because my bird gets overwhelmed/scared easily.

I've been searching the internet but haven't had too much luck.. I've found a couple pictures (one with instructions) but I haven't been too successful.. which is why I've come to you all for some help!

I'm basically just looking for pictures or plans of some kind, I need some sort of guide to go off of otherwise I'll just mess everything up.. haha!

You should be able to google "parrot gym plans" or "parrot stand plans" and come up with some pretty useful info - lots of people make stuff themselves. I've never bought a playstand, my dad makes everything!!

One word of caution about PVC, though. It is easy to clean and assemble, but make sure that your base is heavy enough and/or the gym is short enough so that it's stable. Because it's such a lightweight material it can get top-heavy quickly. This is especially so if you ever plan on having your Amazon be able to fly to it. Good luck in your architectural endeavors, post some pictures once you get it!!
