* Hinges 

Description

The different configurations that can be made with this enrichment should help keep any bird from getting bored. It's cost effective, because it lasts for years. Though it has been chewed on a lot and we have had to replace the climbing blocks (on the outside) many times. It's also furniture that the cats enjoy. Holes were drilled on all sides for light and air. Because of heavy cats and not so flat ground, we took extra precaution to make sure the tunnel could not be tipped over. May 2009 update: We put some dowels through a few of the light holes (tunnel in the "Z" position) and Herbie has renewed the amount of time he is spending in the tunnel.
