Oliver's Garden Loot

I recently placed an order with Susan at Oliver's Garden. I think this was the fastest I ever got something from out East - shipped on the 6th, it arrived at the local post office on the 11th and there was a three day week-end in the middle of that!

Got a nice sized box filled with the following goodies!

More Chunky Monkey toys - this time all in the medium size. Shade should be thrilled (specially with her wood chewing tendency of late!). Joey should also appreciate these!



The Baby Anchor (for Piper) and the Fledgling (possibly for Shade or possibly for some communal perch, all I know is that I'm not putting it out quite right now..yes it's because it's too cute.)



I also got a small Grab Bag - which is essentially a bag filled with foot toys and here they are!



As well, in the foot toy category, I got a few Maurie Sticks, a favorite of Shade's and I could see Joey, Pixel and Zuri liking these as well!



Finally, the biggest piece I got, a Skywalk. I saw the name on the website, there was no pictures associated with it though, and inquired about them to Susan. They are somewhat similar to the Platform Perch, in that they are made from a section of a tree and can include those plastic beads. But it is different in it's own way, being more of a boardwalk kinda perch - and yes, the gap on the back side is large enough to let Léa (for this is the one item of hers in this order) go through without getting stuck.



Another angle -



I obviously got more stuff here for the little ones this time around than for Léa. However, I recently entered a photo competition on Avian Avenue that was sponsored by Oliver's Garden and won second place (off by one vote!) and Susan, who's always been very generous, offered second and third places prizes as well - mine being $30 off on my next order, as well as offering 10% off all who have entered the competition! So there will probably be another order with Léa in mind (after all, the entered picture was of her!) in the near future.

I LOVE the Skywalk... I have one for Lola on its way, and two for the budgies as well!!! :)

Love the Skywalk too!

It's HUGE! If it had been full and sold as a platform perch, it probably would have been fine for my mom's Moluccan cockatoos!

So pretty too :)

Without knowing the actual dimensions of yours, I think the one I ordered is slightly smaller. Susan and I talked about dimensions for weeks, haha :) And of course, the budgies have teeny tiny ones coming their way!

I had been back and forth with Susan too! I got the 16" one I think?
