how to build a parrot stand

[@vegalyrae123]

THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!! I was able to build an amazing stand for my conure and start to finish, only took a few hours! He LOVES it. I have about 8 branches, food and water dishes, and 3 eye hooks that are hanging toys.... The one thing I did differently from yours was to cover the wooden platform base with 8 nature slate tiles that I got on clearance from lowes (1.50 each!!) so I could wipe clean any messes that dropped lol. I also had a bit of scrap moulding that I used to edge the platform

[@TheMetalangel42]

I was going to buy a $50 playing station for birds. Dude, you made me save $50. Tanks :D.

[@akisan9]

Great example of how easy to make a great perch without spending big bucks!! Thumbs up

[@leroi21421]

thank you(-:

[@vegalyrae123]

Also the whole thing coast $45 to make and with the money I saved by making it myself (as per your directions) I was able to buy a brand new cage for my conure that is nearly twice the size of his old one!! Talk about a happy birdy!

[@kristied8878]

Thank you posting this video. I was looking for ways I could use some limbs I had cut while cleaning my yard. (Non-toxic of course.) My African Grey will love this.

[@e.s.l5861]

Thankyou for the tutorial, going to do this for my Cockatiel

[@leroi21421]

Great news!

[@SummerGalLongIsland]

That is simply fantastic!! I'm going to build one for my parrot. I have to find some good branches first....

[@wibisonowibi7284]

I like your tutorial...clear, simply, easy understanding. You are one of creative man.

[@jaspurr29]

Finally a way to save $ Kudos to a job well done, many thx for sharing. Can't wait to build my own:)

[@leroi21421]

great! thanks for your comment! waiting to get some pictures of your stand!good luck!

[@AppleJuiceStudios]

My father and I are going to do this tomorrow for my lovebird!

[@leroi21421]

Great!! happy to hear that, good luck!

[@hygge5katrina]

Thank you for posting such a helpful video. You made a great idea simple.

[@sophiahegedus7409]

Thanks so much Roey! I just built a massive tree stand that is totally beyond my own expectations. I went all out and the tree is about 6ft tall building on the foundations you provided in the video! My cockateil loves it even more than my conure!

[@TunaParaLuna15]

Love this! I would love to do this for my parakeets when I have the time!

[@lagushonok13]

looks amazing for my parrot!!! Just the video I needed!

[@alexandremedeiros3703]

Yesterday, i finish mine.Everybody say it's very nice and i'm only 16 :D.I will send you a picture.Tanks for the idea!!!

[@susanhartshorn1276]

Awesome job mate, will have a go at one of these. Great idea putting it on wheels, it makes it portable, thanks for sharing.🤗

[@donwatkins9769]

Great job. You love your bird and that is nice to see.

[@leroi21421]

Don Watkins Thanks a lot Don! Happy to read this!🙏🏻😊🙏🏻

[@teffyvargas5916]

so far this is the best i have seen

[@leroi21421]

Thank you so much!

[@huntermaynard5594]

+roey bar what type of wood was that

[@Isurvivedthecircus]

As a guess, that looks like Australian Hardwood. It could be of the Eucalyptus genus or Corymbia. My guess is Lemon Scented Gum (Corymbia citriodora) due to the leafe size and arrangement. I could be wrong. But if you are after something similar, and bird friendly, you may also try all these from the Eucalyptus genus. Such as, Marginata, Rudis, Gomphocephala, Camaldulensis, Caesia ssp Magna. Very common in Aus. Also look into your Corymbia genus as well.

[@reviewmasterkaran8477]

[@mrjollypantsjolly]

Nice job. Like your idea for the water bowl. I shall make one of these for my cocketiels and budgies. You have made life better for countless birds!!

[@maricatala2560]

Great video! Buying these types of playground perches for birds is ridiculously expensive, and you proved how easy they are to make for very little money! Might I recommend instead of drilling a hole through the metal bowl, making a type of sturdy bowl holder, that way the bowl can be easily removed for cleaning. :D

[@JeannieSample1]

Very very nice. Thank you for sharing!

[@myDecemberB]

I love your perch. My Macaw needs an upgrade this summer. Thankyou.

[@kathryncervino438]

This was really useful and I now feel like I can build this with your instructions. Thank you!

[@robinpollard1980]

This is a wonderful wonderful video!!!! Thanks so much for the fabulous information!!!1

[@hellewichmosstheophilatos]

That's lovely! Rather larger than my whole lounge room, but great!

[@vijayshravan]

lovely video roey, never thought making a perch was so simple and elegant.. can u plz throw ur ideas how to a make simple cage , maybe a roey's cage. :) :)

[@h2oinfinity966]

This is an amazing idea, thank you very much for sharing!

[@leroi21421]

Thanks a lot!

[@miyeko79]

How cool!!! Definitely going to make one of these. I have eucalyptus trees everywhere near me. Thanks for the diy video!!!!

[@dustymeerkat2871]

this might sound weird but I made a modified version for my snake 😀 thanks heaps for the tutorial

[@leroi21421]

+Dusty Meerkat sounds cool!

[@leroi21421]

Sound cool!

[@nanceebirdlover5222]

Very cool. Thanks for sharing.

[@angeliqueburgos9932]

I can't wait to make my own for my two african greys :) thank you so much!

[@leroi21421]

great! waiting to see some pictures of it! good luck!

[@OntoitinThere]

Thank you for your inspiration. I want to make one of these as well. I like the idea of the wheels with the brakes on them - I will look for them.

[@leroi21421]

great suggestion - about selling tree stands -..i'm not sure how much i'll be charge on shipping this..it's a bit heavy..(-:, but - if anyone will want that - i'll check it out (-: thanks for your comment - it's really nice to read it and to be helpful..

[@cherellesmith117]

I would !! Did you ever decided ? I would love one of these

[@ruthmoscato]

thank you so much. i was just pricing perches and Wow! But this is awesome and so much fun. God Bless

[@leroi21421]

Hey Ruth! Thank you for your kind words! I’m very happy to hear that 😊 good luck!

[@anonz975]

Great video! You made it seem very simple!

[@leroi21421]

Thanks Anon! Give it a try!

[@SilverDrakez]

Just wanted to say great video! It helped me conceptualize what I need to do for my birds, although I have much smaller parrots they would still benefit from the same process :)

[@leroi21421]

Tanks a lot! i'm happy to hear that!

[@Survivor947]

Thank you such a great job...will be trying this myself....

[@thinkgreen1084]

Great video :) ty :) I would maybe do a different approach with fixating the main branch . I would use bg screws and fixate the main branch without ones L shaped, but from down under.

[@Tatt2dmoon]

This is wonderful. I am going to make a perch tree and looked this up. Thank you for uploading this video. There are many useful ideas in here that I didn't think about. A+++ and hats off to you.

[@deborahies]

LOVE this Thank u! Building one and your video was the best!!!!

[@leroi21421]

+Debra Kehoe wow! nice to read the comment!(-:

[@rajkathiravan7747]

Really a great Idea... I watched a lot of videos related to Parrot stand, this is one of the best method... thnx man..

[@leroi21421]

Hey Raj! Thanks man! I'm happy to hear that😀

[@theodubois3740]

Very nice

[@shamley10]

Brill video !!! can i have that one hahaha well im going to make one from my apple tree . Thank you for your info x

[@captainamerica6525]

Thank you! Starting on one right away.

[@leroi21421]

Great! and where are the pictures(-: ?

[@adventuretime101Finn]

Awesome video !!

[@Ranunculus000]

Thanks for this tutorial, it’s the best I’ve seen

[@leroi21421]

hey Becka! thanks a lot! great to hear that!

[@bridgetlew4899]

i love this video it is SUPER helpful thanks!

[@leroi21421]

Thanks! great to hear!

[@isizinyo]

I used a spade drill bit to make holes in the wood. These are perfect hidy holes to put treats. Also a bit of a challenge for the parrot to get her food.

[@gcc123lover]

Thank you so much for this! I don't have a bird yet, but when I do get one I will make a play stand (or two!) just like this!! Most useful video I have watched in a long time! :)

[@wandabirdable]

Love this! And so easy! Thanks so much!

[@pjgarcia100]

That was great!! You did an awesome job ... Thank you for posting this video .. I will start making one for our little Parrotlet :)

[@diannemorgan-smith2245]

Don't know whether I would rather watch the parrot or you!!!! xxxx

[@KarenmitchellANI]

When making anything like this, make sure you use all sizes, thick and thin in branches and twigs. It makes great exercise for their feet and they will chew it, and you can put fruit and vege on the small ones (making a couple for this purpose).

[@avianlover1]

This is super cool. Gave me lots ideas. Thanks for sharing.

[@leroi21421]

Great!

[@CjhEjdl]

Do screws normally come exposed? I guess as long as theyre stainless steel its ok. I wonder about clean up for the bottom of these... if there is a contraption or people normally clean that same wood floor

[@leroi21421]

Hey! I used “exposed” screws, and there’s no problem, as long you screw it all the way to the base. Good luck! 👍🏻 Would appreciate your subscription to my channel

[@leroi21421]

hey, in the video i used eucalyptus tree. you can just google: "safe tree for parrot" or "non toxic tree for parrots"

[@popyflower]

thats a great idea, im going to build one, thanks.

[@unicornwizhez4115]

It took me so long to realize we can build one ourselves after doing research. Cuz I didn't know what wood would be ok but apple wood is second hardest and safe to maple (living in New york) my mom has so many apple trees that aren't producing apples anymore and are close to dead but plenty of healthy wood left for our use. We're gonna such a nice bird room now 😭

[@leroi21421]

Great! You can start selling parrot stands😂

[@leroi21421]

Martin Kavanagh - it is " practical for a large bird", with any basic common sense, if you have a large parrot such as macaw, you would build the stand with thicker branches... the stand that is shown in the video is lasting over 2 years now with an ecllectus.

[@lilyds8100]

What else can you use besides a drill? Superglue??

[@FreeforallGhost]

anything that would make the stand/perch stable as possible.

[@RainCheck797]

lily ds I think super glue would be a bad idea cause if the eat a piece of the glued wood they could get sick or die. Unless you wrap the joint with Hemp twine

[@j4kethegreat91]

I love it! Beautiful work! Well done

[@leroi21421]

Thank you! 😄

[@ChilliePepper63]

Great Video - really makes it look easy :-) - best instruction on how to make a bird tree I've seen....I'm going to give it a go!! :-) Thanks for posting.

[@elabuelodeadan]

Hi thanks a lot from Argentina!!

[@TheBradfordbunch]

Love this!!! Can't wait to make one for my birds. :)

[@yexseniamollieyex58]

Love the idea!!!

[@amiralrais]

Excellent you are smart I like what you did

[@mehul42]

Thanks for posting.

[@leroi21421]

😀

[@arekusu7765]

finally someone who knows how to pet birds

[@dhirenmapagunaratne1686]

what an interesting and enjoyable vid tnx sooo much

[@leroi21421]

thanks!

[@dhirenmapagunaratne1686]

yr welcome

[@cheeseking40]

That's a great parrot stand what type of parrot do you have

[@MsPuffmagicdragon]

hey, there is one thing you did not mention that i was a little concerned about. the metal pieces should all be stainless steel. nothing galvenized. hope you know that and used the appropriate choices. otherwise i loved your ideas and will be trying to do this myself, thanks for sharing

[@aquarioemfoco]

Amazing!!! Soo helpful!! tks a lot

[@hiemanmoradi213]

hey bro very nice Creation, can you please upload a video of your bird on this perch? i would like to see how he uses it so i can get a better idea. thanks

[@urigarcia2610]

I love this sooo much natural then pvc. Im make 1 for my love bird.

[@BennyJennyJ1]

nice work! but my grey parrot could easily chop that down to bits!

[@flyingafro4928]

good video

[@NFAslan]

Thanks for the great instructional ideas! Another one I recently read said it is a good idea to counter sink the screws a bit so they aren't tempted to get at them. They can be filled with little wood corks :) Great job!

[@avawall2052]

this is such a great idea!! what do i use if i dont have any eucalyptus trees near by?

[@warpwarrior312]

im making one for my (hopefully) "future" parrot...it has a lot more branches close together but im (hopefully) gona get a small parrot so i think it will work. i might post a video response of the final result if i can get arount to it, well thanks alot! i really appreciate it!

[@angelaorr892]

Awesome great tutorial!! Thanks :)

[@jevansproductions]

Wow, just found your video as I was going to buy a stand. I think I may take a stab at building it myself now! I also noticed that you have an eclectus as well! Thanks for the video! You have inspired me!

[@abdulgader.azizkhan]

Good idea ans simple thanks

[@markosachniotis2804]

Nice video! I love your ideas!!

[@leroi21421]

Thanks a lot(:

[@markosachniotis2804]

:-)

[@charliekezza]

Yesterday a massive tree fell into my yard. It missed all my animals. And I was excited to get some wood to make a few new perches for my eccies

[@leroi21421]

well?? did you make one?(-:

[@leroi21421]

Would appreciate your subscription to my channel

[@amandamacia8079]

awesome going to make one

[@nathan_v2269]

Amazing video thanks a lot!

[@bloodmoon2307]

For the perches in my cages I normally use branches of oak, beech-tree, hazel and sometimes birch- my meyers for example prefer oak because they love it to peel the bark off :-)

[@mercifamisuke7442]

I am absolutely going to build one of these! I have many lovely gumtrees on my property, so this will be fun! Thanks for the video! cheers

[@leroi21421]

+Mercifa Misuse happy to hear that!

[@leroi21421]

Happy to read this comment!thanks!

[@TheVegitan]

Amazing video! Thank you for sharing. I will be building one soon =D

[@SweetStrella1980]

That's so cool! I'm going to try this, thank you!!!

[@MultiVisualeffects]

Awesome perch. We made one like it before seeing the video. However, i was wondering if you had another idea forma sturdier cup. We have an Eclectus and i have a feeling he will knock that cup right out of its place. Any ideas? Thanks

[@yamder25]

Superb bro❤

[@leroi21421]

you can build one for yourself and have fun on it (-: hope you'll get your parrot soon! it's a great new friend! thanks for your comment!

[@cheirosafabi]
