Any one of those look good stevex. I must admit I like the first one best though, but I'm sure the buds would like them. I bought a playgym for my 2 just before Xmas last year. I put it in all different placed to try and tempt them to use it. 6 months I had it, and they never went near it once, 😆 it got chucked in the bin 😔 BUDGIES!!!😉 Hope you have better luck with yours.

I am on my third one of the first one you posted: One thing I'd say though is that the little swing is kind of too small for a budgie. Oh also the glue that comes with it did not stick any of them together, so we resorted to a few stainless steel nails to keep it in place.

jellybean, I always find that putting millet near anything new will get them close to it eventually. I also clip herbs to the playground too.

I tried that Marianne, and all the other stuff they like I put on it too. Even put toys in it. They were having none of it. I know it takes budgie a while to get used to stuff, BUT 6 MONTHS 😂😄

For my money, I would make one. Give yourself the satisfaction of doing it yourself, and I would guarantee that yours will be more robust than anything bought. If that is not an option, I think the second gives a bit more variety - it looks more interesting to me .... with my bird-brain.

Hehe, obviously Jellybean you need a little more patience, perhaps they were building up to it and needed just one more day! Yes Marianne, I've read some of the 1 star reviews for the first two and they mention about the glue and poor fitting of the parts. Maybe I should do as Hezz suggested and make my own or find someone with good woodworking skills.......redbeardnz?! Thanks for all your advice, I'll probably try all 3 eventually.

They love it, especially if I put a pile of beads on the top shelf, they throw them off and watch them bounce and make a noise.
