Hi everyone! It's been quite a while since I've been online but I was hoping I might get some advice or help in my next endeavor.
I have been considering buying an indoor walk-in aviary for my two Caique boys but the prices just keep skyrocketing. Maybe I'm looking at the wrong time of year? They were only $1600 earlier this year and now they're $2300 ?? Now I'm kicking myself not buying it before the price hike.
BUT I see a lot of pretty nice looking homemade aviaries out there too. And it would be nice to to have more control over dimensions. My main concern is I can't use wood because the boys would go to town destroying it. I found this link but the pics of their cages aren't loading, still the idea they present is very interesting. Using pet exercise pens as the walls is appealing so long as I can find good bar spacing. I rather like the idea of using pvc for some part of it since it would be indoors and I wouldn't have to worry about it rotting in the sun. Maybe it would work well as the main structure or framing since it's so versatile?
Thoughts or opinions on building an indoor aviary? I might just bite the bullet and buy a premade a&e type of aviary cage but I want to at least consider other options beforehand.
