Pics of New (current) Housing Set up

Post by epriddy » Mon Nov 07, 2011 9:55 am

The double flight houses two green singers on one side and four societies on the left. The odd one side pop up has the blues. And the smaller cage near the celing has two orange cheeks.

Thanks!

Looks like a great bird room, with a perfect place to sit and watch them all. I like the way you have used plastic plants to decorate the cages--not only makes them look nice, but I think the birds appreciate the bit of privacy they lend.

Thanks you all. I really do try to make it a comfy environment for them. Most of the plants on the inside/outside are plastic/silk, but some are real (non-toxic) to include all of the perches inside except for the dowels.

Believe it or not I ordered another single A&E cage to fit along that wall for the orange cheeks. I really do need that black shelving back for my clothes. I'll just have a number of extra cages up in the attic in case their needed since I've had so much upgrading.

These cages are expensive so it's going to have to be it for a while!!!

p.s.- I don't know what those coconut tunnels are that I bought and you afix to the top of the cage but the finches really like them. They'll run through like a dog doing agility and pick it apart to stow away in their little nests!

that is a very nice looking bird room, the funny part is that i was planning on adding an aquarium to my birdroom when i build it this summer. looks like a very relaxing and calm atmosphere. i especially like those breeder flights, they look really neat and organized. so i give you a 10/10 lol =D> =D> =D>

Very nice setup. I have two of the A & E double flights and the white breeder cages on top too. My finch/bird room is alive with singing and chirping and I have a desk in there and a chair. I've not been able to do any work because there is always bird seed on the desk. They must throw it out of the cages because the cages have a seed guard too. ?? Enjoy!

I vacuum once a day. Sometimes two or three times a day if it's the weekend and I'm home. Can't stand seed on the floor! :?
