Examples of
recently shipped Deluxe Gyms.
Pictured
here are examples of some of my recently shipped Deluxe Gyms.
As you browse these pics, please notice a couple of things.
- I use a
basic formula for my gyms, a vertical trunk with branches coming
off that trunk
just like a real tree, what a concept!
- Each
and every one of my gyms is unique. When I build them, I
start with the vertical, then add the main top branch, the
stairs in the staircase. I look for the RIGHT pieces so
each gym looks RIGHT, has the right feel. I don't know
what I'm looking for, but I know it when I see it.
- My gyms
are designed to be a piece of parrot furniture you'll be proud
to display in your home.
- I use
several high gloss Formica colors in my gyms. These make
my gyms extremely easy to clean and look gorgeous.
- Consider
your gym to be a free standing piece of art. Even if the
tray color doesn't exactly match your decor, remember, this is
for your bird and it's likely your bird doesn't match your decor
as well.
- The
branches start at the tray, and spiral towards the top branch,
like a spiral staircase.
- I
stagger the branches to provide clear drop zones below each
branch. In about 90% on the time, poop misses lower
branches, that's the idea.
- Perch
diameter isn't critical with Bottlebrush because your bird
doesn't have to GRIP to use my Bottlebrush gyms.
- I use a
variety of perch diameters to prevent foot cramping.
- What
makes my gyms unique is the actual amount of USABLE perch space
in my gyms. The average Deluxe has over 6 feet of USABLE
perch space in a footprint that won't overpower your home.
- As you
look at the different models I offer, you'll notice that the
smaller the gym, the more branches used. Play gyms are a
perfect example of more isn't better. Too many
perches on a Large gym make it too crowded to be practical just
like too few perches on a small gym isn't practical as
well. The secret is to provide the right amount of
branches for each specific gym. That's where my experience
and expertise comes in.
- All of
my gyms have a built in toy called a SPINNER. Spinners are
psychological parrot toys. Basically, a spinner is a slice
of Bottlebrush with a hole drilled in it. It's attached to one
of the branches of the staircase, see pics below. It
spins, but can't be removed. Your bird will try to remove
it but can't, and that's what they like. It's great for
chewing and gnawing, and when one is chewed up, I include two
replacements.
