Training your Parrot(s) is essential to forming a long lasting and loving relationship. So here’s a quick and simple guide to building a stand for working with your feathered friend. It intentionally doesn’t have any toys or food bowls attached. When I’m working with my birds I want them to focus on me. Now this isn’t the best stand in the world but it was cheap and easy to build. Not to mention it gets the job done.

All you need to do this is:

• A drill with a 1 and 1/4 inch bit
• Something for a wood base. In this case I used a couple pine table tops from Lowes. They were on clearance.
• About 10 foot of 1 inch PVC.
• A PVC T Connector
• A Hacksaw

I cut the PVC in half. The I cut one of those halves in half again. I drilled a hole in the wood base. Used a mallet to hammer in the 5 foot PVC piece. Attached the T Connector to the top and put the 2 and 1/2 foot pieces of PVC in the other two slots on the T Connector.

The only thing that could make this a bit better is maybe getting some sandpaper and attaching it to the perch area so the parrots can get a better grip.
