This is very nice and thank you for sharing. A few things that would have been nice would be to see a list of wood, tools and screw info. Also, measurements along with more precise instructions would have been great!!! What ever happened to the day where people posted their list of items needed. Makes it so much nicer.
Appreciate you watching and totally agree with you. I will be creating another one this time using pvc and will be sure to post all the details. Thank you again for watching really appreciate you
Followed your instructions exactly. My African grey is now very happy. Thank you 👍🏻
That's so awesome and nicely done! Whats your african Grey's name?

Freaking awesome buddy, nicely done and congratulations. Glad to hear your feathered friends are enjoying their new stand :)
Wow this awesome 👏🏻 great job.. i will try to make one.. and hopefully i do this good and show you the final result
I appreciate it and can't wait to see your awesome bird stand :)
From a maple tree
Storm took down a maple tree and I have so much to use. Can't wait to make it so awesome
@@wildog47 can't wait to see it :)
@Sabrin Amzour yup I did. My bird has been loving it for months now
Very nice. You probably don't even need to sand the perches down at all. Might be better for their feet if they are a bit rougher and easier to grip, depending on how big the bird is vs the perch.
I appreciate it and appreciate the comment. The reason that I decided to sand the branches was to get rid of any possible bacteria and or bugs that might of been living on the branches. I again appreciate you and hope you have an awesome day
Cool! I'm going to try and make a stand for my budgies
Awesome love it!
Nice Job! Thanks for sharing. 👍🏼
My pleasure and appreciate you :)
Great video! Very thorough explanation- appreciate that :)
Really appreciate it and appreciate you ;)
Going to go pick up some branches now that the snow melted here!
Love it! Can't wait to see the finished product and let me know if you have any questions along the way ;)
What type of wood do you use
The wood is from a maple tree. My next stand I will be using pvc pipe instead of wood :)
What container do you use to soak the branches? All my perches are breaking... I'm lost.
I used the bath tub
looks amazing! not sure about bleach and water? we have natural gum tree here so can we just strip and sand it? toxic free
we have vet grade F10, maybe this plus hot water would be a good alternative for bleach?
Thanks for the Tutorial!!
My pleasure, hope it helps :)
awesome stand
Thank you! I really appreciate it :)
So what wood is it please I have a galah cockatoo they love to chew wood so I dont want soft wood as want it to last lol x
I used branches from a Maple Tree. My African Grey loves to chew wood as well and he hasn't chewed thru any of the branches. Nice thing about making your own is, you can add more branches along the way as well as replace any that need to be replaced :)
Awesome Jop
Appreciate you
Nice job!
Appreciate you, thank you :)
Sharing the length and width of your cuts would be helpful also, neat project
Totally agree and I will have those on the next one. Thanks for watching and appreciate your suggestion :)
It would be nice to see the process of removing the bark, filling the holes you referred to, etc.
Totally agree and will be more detailed with the next one I put together. I appreciate you watching and hope you have an awesome day
@@Positive_Energy727 Thanks! You too!
Could you make a supply list? I would love to try making one!
It's been awhile, however, I will be making another stand out of pvc and will upload that video with the list when I get a chance to make it :)
The main thing you need for this stand is to find a good branch. The base I made with leftover plywood, the backing to my cabinets and 1x4 lumber that I got out of the scrap bin at Menards :) can't wait to see yours :)
Cool
Thank you for this. Can you please video horizontally ? It gives you a bigger screen.
Next one I make, sure will :)
Backsplash? and what did you treat the base with? Thanks for any feedback ❤️
I used extra baseboard from the island I installed in our kitchen. You can use anything for the base would just recommend using something easy to clean and won't soak up liquids. I put newspaper over it when the birdie is on his stand :)
Why does it have to be cleaned bleached and sanded if it’s safe for the bird to peak on it. Can I use any branch from the fruit tree?
The bleach will kill any bacteria and/or insects living in the branch. No, branches from Fruit Trees are NOT SAFE for your feathered friend. Good luck on your stand :)
Hello I have a silver birch tree outside near my area, I have read online about what trees are none toxic but there’s a lot of species lol is silver birch wood safe for birds ? I will be bleaching and removing the bark and the other steps before giving my love birds a play stand
Great question and yes as long as you remove the levees and bark it will be good for your love birds. Good luck on your bird stand
Ah great news!! Looking forward to it thank for your help, I’m obsessed with your play stand can’t wait to have me own haha 😝
can i use wet wood (just go out and cut a branch off) or does it need to be dry?
Yes, cut it down, strip the bark, soak in bleach, rinse with soap and water, let dry and you will be good to go :)
Can you please tell me what tree branches are safe for budgies/parakeets? Thank you 💛
I used maple, which should be fine for your budgies/parakeets. Just make sure you strip the bark, soak it and scrub it with soap and water. Good luck can't wait to hear about your birdies new perch :)
Thanks a ton for responding.
And yes! sure i will let you know about it, as soon as i get it done. 👏
I'm using pine tree from back yard sock w vinager water in tub for 1hr let it dry outside since it's hot will place them in oven 200-250° for idk 1hr an tadaaaa hope my budgies like it🥰
Can you sell these or not do you have a shop will be interested 👍
Really appreciate that, however, I just built this for my parrot. You can totally do it yourself and will save you so much money. I will be building another one out of pvc pipe in the near future which I will post step by step so stay tuned ;)
Where can I get maple wood from if I’m in the UK?
You can make your stand out of different wood, just check to make sure that wood is safe for your bird. You can also use pvc pipe which I am planning on making one soon and will post it once I complete it. Good luck on your stand :)
What kind of wood is it?
Branches from a maple tree
Is it necessary to bleach it?
Yes, you want to kill any bacteria or bugs from the branch
I wonder if the bird ended up picking away the glue and caulking.
Nope he never really chewed on the stand and I did end up adding more branches to the stand.
that looks like a lot of work i might make my dad do it for me 😂
It really wasn't that bad and yes will be an awesome bonding experience with your Dad :)
I want to make one but I don't know if the trees by me are safe😞
I feel you there, my best advice would be Google the type of tree before you begin. I used a maple tree. Best of luck :)
google the type of tree then google if its safe
@@rp101aquatics6 I couldn't for the life of me figure out what these trees are in my yard😞
@@kristenelizabeth4268 understand but take some leaves and branches to a local garden store they should know or a Facebook group should know
Woods that are safe for birds- Almond, Apple, Arbutus, Ash, Bamboo, Beech, Birch, Cottonwood, Citrus Trees, Crabapple, Dogwood, Elm, Fir, Hazelnut, Palms, Pear, Pecan, Pine, Poplar, Hawthorne, Larch, Lilac, Magnolia, Manzanita, Mulberry, Redwood, Willow.
Just wanted to help☺️👍
Hey does anyone know if crepe myrtle branches are safe?
Yes those are safe for your parrot :)
Michael Ferrara thank you!
Which wood is this?
Its from a maple tree
Oh man I wish I had on for my dird
What type of wood did you use to build this perch?
I used branches from a maple tree
👌👌👌👌
What kind of woos are branches
They are branches from a maple tree
You just saved me 85$
Would it be a problem leaving those holes exposed?
No, just use stainless steel screws or bolts. Good luck on your build :)
realy nice! but you dont realy need to peel of the skin of the branch, the parrots will do that them selves!! its fun and entertaining for them, besides sanding down all the irregularities and making it sooth and soft makes the paw always being on the same surface, they need to have ruff material like the skin of the branch.
Removing the bark allows you to make sure no bacteria or insects are brought into your house.
i was wondering why he was stripping the bark, the birds will love to destroy that LOL.
Is the frame for the base needed?
You can make it however you like, however, you will need some kind of base to hold up the stand. The base also keeps the birdies droppings from getting on the floor. Good luck with your build :)
how long do you soak them?
I used the bath tub. You may have to angle them to soak one side and the switch it for the other side.
I let them soak for an hour
What size is the base and frame is?
38'5" x 27'
It is safe to make one from an apple tree?
Yes an apple tree is safe for your parrot
Did the tree have any chemicals on it?
No chemicals on the tree
@@Positive_Energy727 :O You actually replied? Honestly didn’t expect that. Just in case you reply again, I have another question. Is Norwegian Spruce okay for parakeets?
@@n1mra. lol, spruce trees are safe for your parakeet, which would include Norwegian. Good luck with your build :)
@@Positive_Energy727 Thanks!!
How do u soak it in bleach and water?
I put them in the bathtub
@@Positive_Energy727 Is almond tree ok for parrot?
Yes an almond tree is safe for your parrot
It doesnt matter bleaching or not i got straight from the tree in canada i dont know what tree but all good still my parrot sit on it
Awesome, really glad to hear your parrot is loving their stand :) nicely done!
My parakeet keeps falling when she flies around my room because she has no where to land. She ends up freaking out and getting scared and I need something where she can land safely after she take flight.
You can build your parakeet a simple T stand to land on, which you can easily make from PVC pipe. Good luck :)
Ur not ment to scrape the bark of because bird like shredding it
This is true, however, you need to remove the bark to get rid of any bugs and bacteria from the tree branches.
Michael Ferrara true
What of wood you use
Crazy Shawty maple tree
I’ll personally make mine out of Crate Myrtle.
Awesome, would love to see it when your done
Please make the pvc stand 😩😩
I have been working on the plans for it and will hopefully start working on it shortly :)
I’ll be on the look out for that :) ...Thank you!
I’m just concerned wood. Which is safe
There are many similar projects in Stodoys's plans.
Can you come help me? Lol
Lol, you got it, I have faith in you ;)
You shouldn't sand the branches. It's better to leave the bark on for texture.
I appreciate your comment. I choose to bleach and sand the perches to insure I killed all bacteria and bugs.
bleach? FOR BIRDS?
Bleach for killing bacteria from the branches
Too much effort for me ahh
:)
BLEACH???? No way...not with my parrot
Turn down your TV when you do a video please. Ridiculous.
Thank you for the feedback Ellen, really appreciate it. Have a great day :)
