New budgie owners often ask about play gyms, so I thought it would be helpful to post up some member set-ups to give them a few ideas. Home made ones would be great, along with bought ones, or gyms made from things you'd find at home – cheap and clever ones as well as fancy store bought ones. I know some of you have got some excellent ones. I've even seen someone create a good gym out of one of those simple wooden Mug Tree things for hanging cups. This is mine. It's a handmade gym, made from local branches with a melamine tray for a base. There's a bit of rubber on the bottom of the tray so it doesn't damage furniture. It looks fancy, but if you have someone handy with carpentry tools with a good drill, you could make this.

I think if I remember Shirls has that one starrymist, and there were a couple of loose string/rope bits that needed to be removed as they could prove hazardous to budgies getting caught. But other than that I think it was ok

I think anywhere that gives them their own space to do what they want to do (or not want to do) is going to be a hit. Budgies aren't into whoever spends the most money, looks the coolest, talks the talk ...... they need a space outside the cage that they can feel is theirs and where they are comfortable. It's easy really.
