New Flight Cage

Post by birdclaws » Sun Sep 11, 2011 10:07 pm

I wouldn't consider myself to be the best handyman, but after a long couple weeks of being busy and dealing with power outages from Irene, I finally put together something better for the birds. It measures 5 x 3 x 2 plus the bonus room on top. I hinged old photo frames with wire for doors on the side. The bottom is made of two layers of coroplast. Haven't decided if I want to paint it yet, was unsure of what would be safe or not. I'm guessing tempera paint?

Great idea for the top section and I agree, the finches will love it if you put nests up there. Show us pics when the birds are inside. Cool.
