A play stand gives a pet bird somewhere to climb, swing and perch outside the cage, with you in the room. This one is small enough to sit on a table or a shelf and light enough to move from room to room.

It is made from solid wood in a natural finish. A ladder and a swing sit between the uprights, with a top perch and a tray beneath. The photos also show two feeding cups at the end of the perch. The listing says it suits cockatiels, parrots and other birds of similar size, and that it can be placed inside a cage as an extra perch or activity area.

• Solid wood, natural wood colour
• Approximate size: 36 x 23 x 25cm
• Ladder, swing and top perch
• Weighs about 925g
• Can also go inside a cage as an extra perch

On size: at 36 x 23 x 25cm this is a compact stand, suited to small parrots and cockatiels, not to large macaws. The cups and tray appear to be metal in the photos, but the listing does not say so or name the grade. Wooden stands are chewed, so keep an eye on wear and replace the stand once it is damaged.
