So I am new to the site and won't be bringing home my new grey for a couple of months but wanted to get everything ready.  I have a cage and lots of toy making supplies.  Now I have attached a picture of the playstand that I had built for our conure and was wondering if something similar would be good for a grey?  I couldn't find many playstand pictures on here so if anyone has suggestions or pics that would be great.

Looks like a great prototype to me, but since AGs are twice the size of conures, I would suggest make this twice the size as in strentgh of the wood so that it can bear the wrath of a AGs beak. Also check if the wood is parrot safe or not.

The wood is all pine and hardwood dowels so it is bird safe.  The white boards are melamine coated but are edged in pine so any chewing would be on the pine, the white was just an easy board to clean.  This one could hold a CAG or a flock of CAG's no problem, I don't build anything that's not overbuilt lol.  I plan to use the same size base as it sits on a rolling cuboard that I also built, and is sized so that I can roll the playstand anywhere on the main floor of our house.
