Penn-Plax Bird Life Wooden Playpen – Perfect for Sun Conures, Ring Necks, and Similar Sized Parrots – Extra-Large

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.

My birds love them, I can take it everywhere is not heavy, easy to clean.

Easy to assemble. However the glue that came with it is watery and was immediately absorbed by the wood. Fortunately I had wood glue and was able to assemble this. Once set it was sturdy and my parakeets enjoyed it

I read the reviews, so was forewarned about the type of product this was, which is why it gets 3 stars and not 2. Definitely not a quality product- the wood is flimsy and the ladder arrived broken in the box (see picture). For the price, I decided it wasn't worth dealing with a return, so I attempted to glue the pieces together, which worked ( sort of). It made it difficult to assemble, but hopefully it will hold together.After that set overnight, I started to build the playground. As others have mentioned, the dye bleeds a LOT. Even just putting white glue on makes the dye start bleeding. So there are many colorful smears all over the base of the playground from dripping dye.I'm also extremely disappointed and concerned that after several people pointed out that the copper bell could be poisonous to birds, it is still included in the product. Since I'd read the other reviews, I immediately tossed the bell and its attached perch into the trash, but honestly, it should not be included in this product at all! Another lost star.At this point the whole thing is drying so I haven't introduced it to my bird yet. I did purchase a medium sized kit for cockatiels, and it looks like it will hold him just fine. If he weighed a lot more, forget it. So definitely check the sizes before you buy, because I guess some people bought the one for the little birds (like parakeets) and then, of course, their bird was too big.

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.
