Pictures My "new" to me aviary!

[KimKim]

I happened to see this on Craigslist by chance and I bought it! It's a Corners Limited 10' tall 10' wide octagon. We had to dig it out of mud and weeds, but it still look great for however old it is.
Before with my kids checking it out

After all pressure washed.


My neighbors all came out to ask what the heck it was
Now to figure out how to shade it

 

[iamwhoiam]

That's really nice!

You should have told them it was a miniature baseball diamond for your minor league hamster baseball team- The Hamston Cheek Stuffers.

Congrats! Babalu is a very (infact, very very very. ) spoiled but happy grey.
That aviary will be so great for outside visit, and it has a safety door too. I would have bought that aviary too. I love it!
Really looking forward to see the setup when it's done. Are you thinking of nature branches or?

I got some manila rope that Im going to make into rope perches, but I bought the rope back when I thought I was going to use a smaller aviary... I will also use a 2x4 or 2 as I have a couple sets of the brackets. I dont have many big natural wood branches yet, I will need to start my search!
I need to start practicing getting him into a travel cage and I need some kind of shade cloth, so it might be a couple weeks before I can get him in
I will for sure keep posting progress pics!

Here is the one I was going to use, I bought new wire to replace that mesh in the pic. So the new aviary is giant upgrade from this tiny little thing (it blew over in the last storm)..

Knowing Babalu, he will probably just sit in one spot

No he will be jumping and hopping around like a bunny. Trust me! (or not.. )

 

[Tiel Feathers]

How exciting, what a great find!

 

[zoo mom]

Awesome find.

 

[Pipsqueak]

This is awesome! Plant a tree in it for shade and some other plants.

I like.

Shading it is as easy throwing a tarp or canvas (or similar) over the top. Trim it to the edge and zip tie it.

 

[KimKim]

That's what I was thinking too. I know they make shade tarps for dogs kennels, just have to go out and find them, or Amazon
