Color for Bird House (inside)

[MLaRue]

Candace,

Now you have me thinking....

My husband and I are trying to think of what to put on the bottom of the wall so I can HOSE the floor down if I want to. We created the floor (cement) to have a drain for cleaning.

We are going to use FRP panel on the bottom half of the wall but where we are still going back and forth over is what to put on the bottom of that to allow water to drain from cleaning - he is talking about fiberglass on the bottom of the wall to create a curve so water will always drain away from the wall.

Since the floor was already ceramic tiled and the grout was water sealed we just caulked with silicone around the base of the frame inside and out. This keeps any water or seed from getting in or under. I put down care fresh natural bedding. With housing just one breeding pair of parrot finches and their chicks for a short time I only vacuum it out about once a month. I recycle it to the compost barrels. I then can wipe down, mop and replace the bedding. I love the care fresh product. even after the birds splash their bath water it absorbs and dries out without odor. It absorbs bird droppings and stays looking nice. The parrot finches even pick out pieces and incorporate them into thier nest
I plan on resting this pair soon and will probably put some gouldians in it for a change
What are you walls made of? Sheetrock? If you install green board you could tile and use a curved tile along the bottom, somewhat like a shower stall. If it is sheetrock whatever you use make sure to seal with a silicone product to prevent any moisture that could cause mold and mildew.
