Cockatiel Question......... Help?

Question

My wife and I are moving into a new apartment, and she demands that my cockatiels wings get clipped, meaning a possibly bored bird compared to her lifestyle now.

We have a sunroom that I will be putting her cage in (connected to the living room with direct human connection and contact) but I want to find some sort of 4-5ft Indoor Tree that would be perfect for her to climb right out of her cage and onto it, so she at least has a maze of branches and leaves to play in. 

I looked at cockatiel and parrot jungle gyms, but I cannot justify spending $200-$700 on one of those right now. Indoor Tree Recommendations????

Save your cash a Tree would be a complete waste of time as Cockatiels are notorius strippers, they like nothing better than stripping the bark off and leaves.

Why does she demand that their wings be clipped, it will change your birds life completely from happy to depression.and your too ,by what you are saying.

If you have to have a "tree" make one out of a few poles like a ladder, but your birds will never be the same.

Please be very careful - many trees and plants are highly toxic to birds!
Here's a good (but not definitive) list of toxic and non-toxic houseplants:
