How to make a parrot playstand (including trough feeding area)

Since we had so many playstands in our living area we decided to create a flock friendly trough stand.
This created a space for them all to eat together in one space, helped contain messes (less for momma to clean) and gives them a higher space to perch when not eating.

We needed to create it knowing food/water was at the bottom but still able to allow them to perch above without any poop or urates falling into the trough area.

Being that we made playstands for our aviaries similar in the past, we had many requests to explain how we made them which is why we decided to create a tutorial.

After finishing this one up and bringing it inside we watched how they navigated around it and added additional perches where we felt they were needed to make it easier for them to all get around.

*Previously to starting my husband cut pieces to size and sanded each piece.
We still have 2 other playstands for Cypress and Trinity to share due to their disabilities. Plus Bob has his own.
