Hey Will
I have lots of plexiglass left from when I had it on the outside backs of my cages. If I want to cut it & make a box for INSIDE the cage like you did, could I just tape the 4 corners & bottom sides instead of drilling holes & attaching with screws

We have 3 Home depot's on SI and not one of them will cut anything to size...customer service in NYC is terribleFor heavier or larger pieces go to Home Depot or Lowes with exact measurements and they will cut it for you to size.

IDK if the tape would hold cause you would have to put a piece inside and outside the cage and sandwich it together...finchandlovebird wrote: Hey Will![]()

Re: my seed catching solution :D
I just went and bought 3 pieces from Hobby Lobby...called and priced it from glass installers and it was crazy expensive. May keep my eyes on posters at dollar stores but I figure that I can get several strips out of the 36x28 piece at hobby Lobby. And as to Home Depot not cutting - it is the same here. And the prices are higher. I have used these Hobby Lobby plexiglass sheets for cage seperators and found that it is easy to score with a box cutter and break. The electrical tape will further insure that any sharp edges will not harm the birds.

Instead of tape could you use a fine strip of Velcro on the back edge of the main cage joints and the edged of the plexiglass, making sure that the birds do not have contact with it.
