Wow, I love that stand. I wish we had those kinds of trees/branches here. I am sure Shaggy will be quite happy once you have added the rest of the things. Way to go Mare.

Thanks, Helena! . I've made manzanita perches and stands in the past, even sold some. The owner of the new pet store in town, wants to check them out..I might be able to sell a few there. I enjoy collecting the wood, cutting it to size, sanding and screwing pieces together, plus..we have an abundance of manzanita on our property. I've checked them out on line and can't believe how expensive they are! I couldn't see charging anywheres near that much.

WOW how cool Mare! Lucky guy. If shipping wasn't a big hassle, I would want one or two for Lady, even the way it looks before all the extras!

Alice, if you seriously want one and just pay for shipping, I would gladly collect the wood, cut it and sand it. All you'd have to do is screw the base to a square piece of 3/4 inch plywood and screw on the perches..super simple. It would be easier to package if it was in pieces.

Thank you, Rosalyn! I stopped by the pet shop today, picked up some "full spectrum" bulbs I'd ordered. I spoke again with the owner and he's excited to see what I've got, which isn't much at the moment . We talked about what he thought might sell well and because most of his customers are small bird owners, he thought the inside cage perches might be most popular.
You folks with smaller birds..do you use standing perches and if so, are they for the counter/table or floor? Thanks, any feed back is appreciated!

I use table and floor perches for them all. I think that the more mobile, table perches would work better for smaller birds because they could be easily moved from room to room. They would probably be more affordable as well. I would screw in some eye rings too so that toys could be hung off them. I can't wait to see what you come up with.
