I wanted to share my new hand-made aviary with you guys. It toke me 5 days and a lot of back-pain to finish it. I wanted to build a big aviary for long, but that's all I was able to do.
I will show you the steps. First, I made the measures....I needed it to pass through the door so it had to be .65 m in depth, I needed to stand inside it so it's 2 m tall and needed room for my fids so it's 1.5 m wide.
I went to buy the required wood and material
Now it's time to start building. The sides are made first
then i collected the sides together forming the main frame and the median post
The back was made of wood and the front and sides were wire. I made the shelf on the right to make space for nests and toys and to prevent them from getting out when i go inside it, as the door is just below this shelf. I started fixing the back and installing the roof support over the sides to the median post.
then the wire is put together and the floor is set to drawers to ease cleaning.
In a few days i will post pics with the fids inside. But what color should i paint it????
I hope u like it.
