Hahaha, are you kidding me? You totally deserve all the compliments. That is a very creative and fun set-up with all kinds various options and upgrades. A little crooked is perfectly fine -- you have to remember that you did this all by hand -- like a real caveman! Minimal tools, no fancy gadgets. I'm in awe. :-BD

I think you should totally keep the Peruvians. There may not be a local demand, but maybe you should advertise on a national scale? Especially where there are a lot of Peruvian expatriates who yearn for that hysterical croaking sound. Perfect with some coffee and pancakes. :lol: :lol: Good luck! :)
God is my redeemer and it is through Him I have found eternal happiness. I am grateful, I am blessed, and I am truly loved. I wish all this and more for all members of our finch forum family. May you all be blessed and highly favored. <3

Very nice and I am sure your goulds are very happy in their new digs.
I really like the swing up door panel for ease of paper removing and replacing... very clever 8)

That looks great! I wish I could build stuff like that. I'm jealous.

Thanks. I was hoping that I could make it so that seed wouldn't come out from along the edges and end up on the floor, but it looks like it found a way to get under neath it. Hmm..

Plastic.

The basic wood, screen, plastic and hinges came to be around $50 usd. I was able to get the chloroplast and the door frames from my work, but I would guess that would be another 10-20 usd if you were to buy it. I'd like to save up some and install some proper lights....
