Hi All . Hope you have a Merry Christmas. Ive hung ropes from hooks in the celling in the bird room. I used hooks that are deorative kind. They arent sharp. I put the hooks about three feet apart. I did them in a L-shape from the cage to the play pen. Then I used cotten 1/2 in. rope . I tied three together and knotted them every two ft. They hang down about two ft from hook to hook. I put a second rope to hang down four ft. next to my chair. The ropes are one continuance from hook to hook. I put toys hanging from the ropes. My senegal and macaw both go up on it when thet get out of the cage and play very hard.They hang upside down fighting there wooden chew toys. My sengal is a old bird and didnt move off the top of his cage, but now more and more I see him go up on it and play. You all should give this a try . I even play with them when they are on the ropes. Josie loves to climb down the rope next to my chair and I swing her around in a circle or from side to side.She loves it. I just helped a friend do it for his birds. If you make it let me know how your birds adapt to it though time. Mark
