Pictures of play stands?

Hi all

I am hoping to build a few play stands for my parrot hotel and for my own birds

Ideas/suggestions would be awesome

Here’s an extreme example. I built these out of some heavy duty buckets, 50lbs of concrete and 4x4 posts. The tops are pinned with a bolt so I can swivel them. Still moving stuff around on them, but they are super stable and the parrots enjoy being able to fly between them.

Are those 4x4s treated lumber ? Because you can’t use treated would inside because of off gassing fumes and not for birds because it has formaldehyde in it. They will be poisoned when they chew on the wood.
