Just been looking through the forum seeing pics of others birds and wondering how you guys position or have your branches set out?

Like the topic - Some snaps of my birds by Elferoz777 (nice pics mate) there's a pic of a few gouldians on a branch with alot of lil branches what im wondering is how do you position it or do you have a bunch of branches together to form some sort of security to hide?

Sorry if it sounds confuseing just how i could explain it :)

Cheers

Thanks for the kind words.
I just cable tie garden trellis to the wire and stuff it with tea tree in all its varieties. I have a big wire cylinder I jam pack with tea tree. Givs the birds a perch and a place to nest.

I always put some at each corner of the avairys so those that dont get along if cramped can nest away from each other and to provide healthy exercise for the birds flying between perches.

The further they get to fly the stronger their wings become. Yes I have a hanging branch right down the centre of my main avairy.
