Review: Too Big for In the Cage, Perfect for Out of It (Updated) - I had hoped I could put this in my bird's cage, and he could use it both in and out of the cage. But it's really too big (got the x-large size) to put in the cage. That's okay--he'll use it when he's out. We'll likely put it in the bathroom and let him use it for shower time. I have a pineapple conure, and the x-large size is really perfect for him. I think the x-large would work for conures, ringnecks, caiques, quakers, and other similarly sized birds. It might be a bit too big for cockateils and it's way too big for budgies and parrotlets. It was super easy to put together, fits securely, comes with the glue and everything you need to assemble. Conner the Conure was terrified of it at first, flew off every time we'd sit him on it, but soon, he ventured a peck here and a waddle-waddle there, and now he'll even sit o the swing. I think he'll love it in no time. The swing and ladders move and hang from little hooks, so you can switch them out, change their sides, etc. Bright, colorful, easy to assemble, sturdy when put together right. I think all in all, it was a good purchase and at a decent price. Update: The colors tend to run when they are cleaned with water, so you want to mostly dry wipe to clean this play toy. It's not enough of a concern/problem that it warrants a downrating in stars though, because Conner the Conure absolutely loves his toy now. Whenever he is out and we're in the kitchen area, we put him on his play toy on the counter and he can be with us. I like it and the little red cup/dish it comes with--while we're cooking, I'll slice some veggies and put them in his little cup. He likes the rope perch and he'll slide the shiny plastic wavy rings. If I had one negative, it would be that the colors run if you use water to clean it. One other slight negative is that the swing and ladder don't like to stay 'hooked' and sometimes will fall off when moving the play gym. They are strong and secure when the toy is still, so it's not a danger to the bird or anything but I knocking the swing off and having to put it back on when I move it. This was definitely worth the price for a play area for a small to medium-sized bird when he's out of his cage.
Review: Old birds can learn new tricks! - I bought the X-Large activity center for my lovebird since I wanted her to have a place to sit near me, without claiming the back of my couch as "her" spot. It was pretty easy to assemble considering the number of pieces it came in (like 10 or 12 fyi) and there was plenty of glue to go around. I started with it set up on my coffee table, hoping to get my birdie used to it before asking her to actual sit on it. She had zero interest in it and was kind of intimidated, but got over it in about a week of seeing it at a distance. She had an activity set like this when she was younger, but never played on it, so it was a bit risky to think she might now. Lo' and behold old birds can learn new tricks! She's 16 years old, but it only took her about 5 minutes to learn how to go up and down the ladder (having never learned to use one before) in order to get to her favorite treat that I had set on the base of the unit. She loves hanging out on the top perch, particularly when I have the unit set up high. Queen of the roost! ;) She's still not into the bell, which I thought she would be (doesn't have a great sound though--is kind of tinny--and she's picky) and hasn't gone near the swing, but otherwise she climbs all over it! I also love that the ladder attaches with c-hooks because I've actually detached it on occasion and used it as a ladder from my counter down into the sink where she likes to take a drip bath. Size-wise it's a little weird? I still give it 5 stars since my bird (to my surprise) adores the thing now and it's very functional in my space, but the top perch is almost too big to be comfortable for her feet. It's so wide around (1 inch dowel) that she has a hard time gripping it when she comes in for a landing and almost fell face first off it the other day. On the other hand, there's so many perches and dowels close together at the bottom, she won't go in the middle part where the swing is. So even though she's small, it seems a little claustrophobic to her in that area. Anyway, good product! Happy bird, happy mama.

And it comes with glue, and still it’s falling apart. Threw it in the trash immediately, bird products shouldn’t use glue.
