- I finally got to make a DIY bird play gym for my birds! This DIY bird play stand is easy to make and is super affordable! The DIY PVC bird play gym is customizable and will be something your birds will love! I wanted to make this affordable bird play gym into a foraging play stand so my birds can get a little more exercise while getting their food!
To build the structure, I got all of my supplies from Home Depot, see below for what you'll need!
Total cost was around $100 without toys and accessories!
PVC Play Gym:
- 37ft of PVC pipes (I used 3/4")
- PVC pipe cutter
- 1 PVC coupling
- 4 PVC caps
- 4 PVC elbows
- 12 PVC tees
Customize with whatever toys, perches, food bowls, etc. you'd like! 😊
If you decide to use natural twine like I did, please make sure that it is:
- BIRD SAFE ROPE/TWINE
- UNOILED AND FREE OF CHEMICALS
- IF IT HAS A STRONG CHEMICAL/GAS SMELL, DON'T USE IT
- IF IT SMELLS NATURAL LIKE GRASS, YOU'RE GOOD TO GO!

PVC pipe is very light and unstable, so if you wanted more stability you could add sand to the inside of the pipe in base portion to add weight and keep it from falling over.
i would do that for larger breeds like grey cockatoos and macaws but for a smaller bird like hers i think it would be fine but good idea though 👏🏻👌🏻👍🏻
I was just thinking of the same thing like that’s play stand is gonna wobble all over the place without something to settle down right. But your idea with the sand is such a good idea in my opinion and I will be gladly using this idea so thank you very much lol
Awesome thanks for info.
Or bed it into a concrete base.
I love the fact that your videos aren’t too long girl! Some you tubers really love to milk it and make it a 15-20 minute video but I personally much prefer these bite size videos 😀
@Rodrigo Dante 💀💀💀
@Hezekiah Makai shut the flip up I’ve seen you’re comment even on dreamsmp videos
yeah i like it when a video is just ten minutes or less
What I use under all cages and play areas for my birds is shower curtains bought at the dollar store. They are easy to sweep up and can be used for a long period of time. They are very easy to clean. Just a suggestion. They can even be taken out and sprayed off with a hose and dry fast.
I've owned parrots for years and this is some of the best use of materials that I've seen. Especially love the braid of rope! Was about to make a play area out of wood for Grey's cage top, but now I'm switching to pvc wrapped in sisal and will zip tie to cage top.. Years ago I built a flight cage for finches out of pvc and wire mesh, including a door.
When using pvc cutters, you gotta twist it around as you cut and it will slide through much much easier. Used these a lot when working a trade.
yes that is a great tip!! that's the same tip some guy gave me in the Home Depot parking lot when my sister was helping me cut the 10 ft pipes down so I can carry it on the train 😂 it was a lot easier but some of the pipes came out a little crooked haha thanks so much for sharing!
@@FlyingFids how much twine did you use? I don’t know how much to purchase
Oddly enough I know this due to water cooling my PCs lol
I made this yesterday!! Thank you so much my budgies love it ❤
I made this with my mother and it was amazing! We added a ladder up to the second part and my two gcc loved it :D tysm!
$47 for the PVC pipes and additional items with pipe cuter. Completed it within 20 minutes. I bought $100 worth of toys prior to the project (planet pleasure 21 natural toys for $110 Including shipping) Twine was $12 for 2k feet. Additional natural perches were $40. Overall, less than $100 spent excluding toys since those were bought before the project.
I’ll definitely try this out!
Yay thats great! I hope your birdies like it! 💕
@@FlyingFids you mean birbies
WHY ARE YOU SO UNDERRATED
Because that's how teachers are treated in the internet 😪
Or maybe because she sounds a bit like a robot...
@@LtDan-ni5rw that makes it cooler
@@oblea2652 if that were indeed the case, she likely wouldn't be called "underrated". She would be popular, but she isn't.
Shes not she has 60k subs
I love this play gym! I went to local plumbing store for the pvc. I paid $24.00. They did all the cutting. I gave the guy a $10.00 tip for doing all the cutting. I have twine and vet tape. I'm going to order rope perches and other stuff to add. I put tiny screws that I had to secure everything together. In a half hour the fids had a great play area! Thank you for this wonderful idea!💙💛💙💚👍👍👍👍
Pro plumber tip, slide the pex cutter around the pipe as you're cutting. It'll make the cut easier, and ensuring the pipe doesn't bend.
? Slide around? Like rotate the pipe, apply pressure so it digs into it, then rotate the pipe, repeat?
God you're so underrated. My conure is gonna be so happy with this. New subscriber. Thanks so much.
Thank you so much!!!! I’ve been wanting to build one of these forever but got way too bogged down by the details-finally it was broken down so easily I feel like I can tackle it. Thank you!!!! ❤❤❤
Birds generally have trouble digesting ropes of all sorts and although organic ones are better they have still been found in the guts of dead birds during autopsies. this a great idea but what I would do differently is at the top of the pipes adding natural wood (sterilised and bird safe wood ) I hope that makes sense. I love your channel and am a subscriber :)
Thank you .... I really enjoy your youtube!
i'm so glad, thanks so much for watching! 💕
I have 5 conures this is soo perfect!
I made this it's awesome . My parrot love it from India 🇮🇳
Thanks for the video! I built my African grey a playset and he loves it! I used a washing machine tray from Home Depot for the bottom because it has a lip that keeps everything in it. And of course I put newspaper on it for easy cleaning.
What a talented women. Its gorgeous and I am sure your babies love it.
And, what's amazing to me is that you created this in about 7 minutes. ❤
Good for you.
I'm sure peeps wouldn't mind lininv up if you were to make one or 1,000 of these awesome stands/ gyms/ foraging place/ Clothes hangers( kidding) for a fee. Huh? ¿
Thanks Won. It's amazing piece of work. ❤
I love this so much. I love the editing and the little sounds.
You have a new subscriber 🥺❤️
thank you so much! 🥰

Thank you for all your videos!
Hi 👋 what a great plan. Thanks for the inspiration, now I’ve learned from your vid I can build purpose built perfect size play gym for my birds. Thank you!
TIP: Handy tip about the poo mess.. always leave a clear drop to the floor (no obstructions for poo to land on) and lay PUPPY PADS on the floor. Collects and soaks up poo and liquids your birds drop, throw away and replace when it’s too messy. A little diy masking tape keeps it in place and peels off without leaving any marks. I’ve used PUPPY PADS for my big cockatoo’s for years they are perfect once you’ve located the birds favourite perch and poo 💩 drop zone.
I buy puppy training pads from any local pet shop and big supermarket stores but also I’ve seen them in discount stores like pound shop and Wilko etc for economy buys. These absorbent training pads work like nappy/diapers and the juicy mess never reaches your floor. Less and often nothing to clean up. It’s healthier for the humans in the house and the house owners have much less to do on poo patrol !
Your play gym looks great! Thanks for the wonderful directions and suggestions.
I love your DIY videos (for stands and toys). Everything is so expensive, so it's great to get ideas on how I might be able to do some stuff at home on my own. Thank you!
Thank you so much for creating this play gym design! I have the skeleton assembled and this weekend I'll be blinging it out with interesting toys and activities for Cookie, my Congo African Grey!
What a great idea! Thanks for sharing.
I appreciate you and your videos so much. ❤️
Love this! My husband made one for my little one! I’m gonna add all the toys tomorrow and let her try it out!
You’re amazing for posting this!!! Thank you soooo much!!! I’m doing it!! And thank you on the rope recommendation!!
Thank you it was so helpful and my green cheeks liked it.
This is awesome! I love how your brain works girl!! 💗
Definitely gonna try this out for my little one! I absolutely love this and will be checking out you’re other videos!
Thank you for this video; it's super helpful! I always wanted to try making one but since I'm hopeless at these things I wasn't sure where to start!
I'm so happy you found it helpful! You can definitely make this, I believe in you! 😊

I have a ton of plastic pvc pipe from this ladderball game set, hot glued super grippy fabric to the pieces and built the stand thingy. Super fun to do
I made this it's awesome. My parrot love it..
Well done and thanks for the great ideas.
Aaaamazing
Hey Flying Fids you did such a great job thanks for sharing!!
love this video, such great ideas!
I am so happy to have found your channel. I really appreciate you for taking the time to show us exactly what you did.
Thank you 😊 I already subscribed
My Crimson bellied conures on his way home, so excited.
You're so intelligent
From Canada 🇨🇦
Awesome job!
I just made mine. Thanks for this channel. Truly appreciated!
How many 37ft pipes did she use. Does anyone know, i really want to make one. Thanks
@@sarshak01 She uses 37ft total. 4 4ft pieces, 21 1ft pieces.
5 stars nice job
Awesome video!
Thankyou sooo much for this video!! i was looking for what materials to use for making my conure a playground and finally saw your video!! saving a lot of money!!! thanks:D
Love it
Thank you! My dad was sick of my English budgie pooping everywhere including the carpet and he said “why don’t we get a stand for maxwell (my lil stinker)?” And I said sure we can order one but he wanted to go all the way and get him a big playstand off of Amazon but I knew that playstands are VERY pricey and let him know and I told him “why don’t we make one?” And he was hesitant to make a playstand as big as this but I told him that we have a lot of room in the house and my bird doesn’t have a playground so he agreed. My mom is also on board with the idea because she’s the one that wanted a bird in the first place after I mentioned wanting my first pet and thought a bird was a good idea! I’m going out with my dad to get the supplies and get toys and food bowls for the play gym. Again thank you so much! 😁
what a great idea! It looks like SO MUCH FUN!
Thank you! Pineapple and Pumpkin love it so far! 🥰
@@FlyingFids What carrier do you use for transporting your birds around (i.e: vet) ?
i use a bird carrier from Celltei! its very pricey but the quality is really great! www.celltei.com/products/bird-carrier-for-two-active-green-cheek-conures-that-like-to-spin-around-inside.html
wow this is great!!
WOW SOO COOL!!!❤❤❤🐦🐦🐦
I love this! I’m gonna do this in next week but first I need to buy more toys, extra bowl and pipes ! 💓
just made this and its great!!!
Hey thank you, I just made this today. Subscribed.
Wow that looks awesome! I want to build a whole amusement park for my budgie but ive heard they mostly just like to perch at the top so he might get a lot of towers lol
hi~ the Birds stand looks good. Thank you for your sharing.
I used two cookie cans to make a simple bird stand. It's easy and funny too.
I made this for my 5 month old Pineapple green cheek conure, she loves it.
I just wanna give a big thank you for this and not even for the play stand. I just got Sisal and was a little intimidated about trying to make a bendable sisal perch since I can't find any anywhere. I was worried sick about getting the wrong metal and such. Then you braided the rope and I face palmed over the simplicity. I paused the video and immediately braided a rope perch for my sweet boy and it looks great. He's a little wry of it, but I'm sure he's gonna love it once he trusts it.
Thank you so much. This video help me to build awesome stand 😍
Fantastic job thank you I use that artificial grass under my perches they vacuumed well with my stick vacuum and don’t look too bad
coooool
luv your vids
WOW!!! This is so awesome!! A little bit intimidating lol
Bonjour, c'est genial !
It's great 👍 Thank you so much ☺️ !!!!!!!!!!!!
I have gotta do this for my two budgies!
this is awesome in the feature my plan is to make one out of wood and in a larger scale for a macaw
I really like this vid as I can use this for my big birds. I liked all the toys & wished you did a vid on the toys that you made. They looked awesome. Thanks
omg ty 😲 This helped me A LOT and your underrated 💖💖
This is dope I ordered all the stuff and I am making this for my conure 🥰
Did u finish it
Very under rated and that comes with a subscriber 😆
Ahh thank you so much! 🥰
That's dope
Imma try it..thanks..super cute..you !
good work
Nice
I'm going to try this
let me know how it turns out!
Hey you are amazing i love your videos... im a plumber and was thinking of making one from copper pipes and came across this video...pvc is cheaper but to cut it you can easily cut it by gently squeezing the cutter and turning the pipe at the same time.
My son and I are following your plan to make it. We have it all put together but we ran out of jute to wrap the pipe. He is young so we made the long pieces only 3”. It is turning out great!
yay that sounds wonderful!
New subscriber! Awesome video, my gcc is gonna be thanking you tomorrow ❤️ I’m off to check out your other videos!
Awesome 👏🏽 I was just looking for bird stands online. This seems a lot less expensive. I will try building this with the kids.
Enjoy your channel. 🐥👍🐥👍
