![]() ![]() I was terrible at DIY stuff and had no building talent whatsoever. When he mentioned doing one DIY, I cringed. I knew we didn’t have the money but my birds were my babies and I wanted nothing but the best for them. When I told my husband what it would cost, he laughed.and laughed.and continued laughing until I told him I was serious. I’m a bit paranoid about FDB ( feather destructive behavior) and wanted something that I knew they wouldn’t get bored on, even if I had to leave one of them on it for a few hours during the day while I worked. I wanted a large area where they could climb and explore and chew on those hundreds of dollars of toys I was buying for them. Those were running between $250-450 online and in the store (still a big chunk of change). Now, when I say tree stand, I’m not talking a few small branches here and there for them to stand on. Alas, it seemed if I wanted a nice large stand for my two blue and gold macaws, it was going to be costing me almost as much as a mortgage payment. You see, I had already done my research online about large tree stands but had a sliver of hope that maybe in the stores they would be cheaper.That hope was soon shot down. ![]() (Oh, and forget those store bought toys!

The particular statement was made when I asked him how expensive some of the larger java wood tree stands in the store were. Truer words had never been spoken, and they were spoken to me by the sales associate of my local pet store, ringing up my 3rd $200+ purchase of bird toys that month. “You can have a bird or a bank account, not both.” ![]()
