Making Windows Safer

[juliashmulia]

Stole this idea from @saroj12 (only mine are the cheaper nets). This only cost me $40/window. Now I never have to worry about him misjudging the distance or getting spooked and flying into the glass.

What a great idea.

 

[juliashmulia]

He's absolutely obsessed with them, too. He spends all day climbing on them and flying from net to net. I hang lightweight toys from them and he just goes to town.

Love this!

I love that solution, but was too expensive for me. So I put plastic garden lattice over the windows and in front of the sliding glass doors to keep the birds from flying into them. Works great and allows me to hang toys, perches, platforms and foraging areas on the lattice as well. I did put a foraging area on my net, which a good friend was nice to donate to me. Most of the birds are still warming up to the net after two years!

PS: Using plastic lattice has not kept the birds from chewing on the lattice. Oscar RBP has removed the top four inches of one of the panels over the past year. He works on it daily... However, the plastic is easier to clean than the wood lattice, even when the wood is painted with baby safe paint.

That is such an amazing idea, did you make it all yourself?

 

[juliashmulia]

@BeakyBird no, I didn't make them. I looked into it and it would have cost me just as much to buy all the materials and have them shipped. I bought 4 separate climbing nets on Drs. Foster & Smith and then attached them.

most excellent!

This is the purpose of the forum, to help other bird owners maximize the health, happiness and environment of their birds by using suggestions from other bird owners. I also love how the forum allows debate on controversial subjects like wing clipping, breeding and allowing our birds to follow their instincts rather than just be sex-less, toys for humans.

Not all my posts are popular and I have had my fair number of trips to the dungeon. But this forum is a wonder and a treasure to me. Hope I can be helpful to you or anyone in the future. Welcome to AA.

Love it!!!
I'm going to make/get these for my room... I always have to curtain the windows when my 'keets are out flying, so this would be very helpful!

This is awesome, I'm going to see if I can get bird safe supplies at the craft store to make one for Gypsy.

Anyone have cats that try to climb the netting?

Plus it makes you look like a pirate.
There's nothing wrong with that, IMO, I would LOVE to have my house look like a pirate's ship!

My cat is a little stinker and he's never tried!
