thanks! At this moment the big playtree (villa filou one) is mostly used by my sennie and quaker. My grey Tommy doesn't like to klimb on it. He doesn't hate sitting on it, but when he sits on top finally he stays there till I take him of Image but about grey and sennie. They now and than sit next to each other because I put them together, for example for some photos or so. My birds are quite friendly towards each other because I let them get used to each other from the first day they live here. They aren't friends, but that is not necessary I think. I made a wonderful photosession of 4 of my birds next to each other. (grey, sennie, quaker and budgie) and they just let me to that. So funny. I will add these photos later on.

This is just one of the photos

Does anyone know why my photos are cut off on the right?? I saw the photos of the brown headed parrot and these are 640 x 480 pixels. my photos I always make 650 x 434 pixels and I add them through my photobucket album. anyone? Image

they are.. but they are only made here in Holland. two girls, Astrid and Janet, started this business because they made such a tree themselves for their first bird. And they got so many reactions and questions from other parrot lovers that they want such a playtree, that they started their business. They are made from very good material, very good RVS, the rope never made from cotton, but only from sisal and hemp because these are not chemically treated. Would from the willow trees.

Here another photo of a playtree they made

You can tell them yourself how you want your playtree.. it is not cheap, I paid for mine €499 but it is worth it!

They look so peeved at having to pose so close together for photos! :lol:

The forum allows for up to 575px across unclipped. Anything wider and the right side gets clipped. That's just a limit of the available space in the post windows. I resize all my photos to 575px wide for posting on the forum.

Oh right.. I guess I resize them differently now for all my forums. This is the only one with that limit so I will keep it in mind. Thanks!

It's a good limit though. It keeps the photos from getting too big and taking forever to load.
