If your bird is bored and doesn't know what to do why not get your parents to make a play set?Pipi loves the playset my dad made and on the first day he fell asleep on it!And im sure if you put it in the sun your bird will LOVE it because my bird does.And sun is good for there feathers.And make sure you put seed in it.And if your scared that if your inside and you have a water bowl, and it might spill, just give your bird a apple.The juice is enough water to keep him quenched.Qnd in another topic i will show you some photos of him on his new playset. Hope it works.

Cj and Jessie my Quakers love there playstand. They are great to keep bird entertained. You can hang toys off them, and the birds have a ball.

when i first got my green cheek, mom and i decided to make a play stand for her...we used PVC pipe, and untreated dowel rods...we had to buy a drill bit that was huge...larger around than any of my fingers. then we put a could of holes in the pvc pipe (its about 5 ft tall) and i got small closed hooks and screwed them on the ends of the dowel rods after i put them in the pipe. then i attached toys and a swing to these closed hooks. i wasnt able to put a food or water cup on there because i couldnt find the cups i was looking for...but im always eating something healthy...or drinking some juice...so i include the girls in my snacks. lol. but i attached the pipe to a wooden base using some piece the guy showed me at hope depot...i also put lifters on each corner or the bottom of the board so it didnt leave an imprint in the carpet. the girls really seem to love it. i also covered the pipe in non-toxic contact paper that looks like wood...so it looks nice...haha...mom and i enjoyed putting it together. all in all, it cost 75$ to make...but we had to buy a drill (30$) and the bit we got was i think 15$...but it was worth it. enjoy guys!

All my birds love the playset my dad and I built for them. It's nothing fancy, but they will spend hours at a time on it.

isnt it nice how birds (unlike a lot of ppl in this world) greatly appreicate the small things we do for them...they dont ask for very much from us except our love and attention. and then theres the birds that DEMAND attention... ...like my sun...we had to disconect the fan in our bathroom because everytime we turned the light on, the fan would make noise and alli would start screaming. it was a pain at about 3am...lol

Yes. Birds are wonderful companions. ;D Every time anyone opens my door they're greeted by a chorus of shrieks. "Hello? Are you going to play with us? Who are you?"
