Parrot Tree Survey

Never mind- found the link and video for your tree. Very nice indeed! How do you keep it clean and cover the table underneath?

Can you post a picture of Trumans tree? I have not seen it.

I don't cover the table. I don't care about it. I just wipe it down every now and then. I keep newspapers on the floor on either side to protect the floor. I clean off the tree once a week. It doesn't get too dirty luckily. At the time of day when Truman is out on it, he doesn't poop very much.

I really like the tree, but I probably wouldn't put that many toys on it at once. I would be concerned with my bird pooping on the toys.

It would be prohibitively expensive to ship to the UK so my answers are probably a bit useless, but if you were based in Europe I would say:

1) Safety of hazardous materials - 10
2) Ease of cleaning - 6
3) Durability - 7
4) Aesthetics - 2
5) Food bowls - 0
6) Wheels - 0
7) Keeping the bird on* - n/a
8) How tall would you want the tree to be? - 1.2m then it can be tall enough to stand on the floor but short enough that it can also go on a low table.
9) What size base board? - wouldn't be too bothered
10) How many perches? - 6

I would be willing to pay for a tutorial / personalised advice on how to make a super awesome tree like Truman's though. Perhaps you could do something like that.

8) How tall would you want the tree to be?
9) What size base board?
10) How many perches?

1) Safety of hazardous materials - 10!
2) Ease of cleaning - 7
3) Durability - 10 - Rather pay extra for a durable one than having to buy a new one too soon
4) Aesthetics - 6
5) Food bowls - 5
6) Wheels - 7
7) Keeping the bird on* - 10 - Getting one of these to help him have fun, I think it's important that he likes to be there

8) How tall would you want the tree to be? Max 150cm tall, I don't like him to be above my head for too long. He gets a bit aggressive.

9) What size base board? Enough so no perches stick out from it I believe this would prevent mess outside of the tree.

10) How many perches? 6 - 8!
