My indoor aviary!!

Post by kimnfinches » Tue Aug 20, 2013 10:54 pm

First time posting pictures, hope this works!

Finished building my indoor finch cage, except for some tweaking to make the birds and myself happy. Couldn't wait to see them in it! :mrgreen:

Thanks everyone, :D it was a lot of work! Everyone seems to be adjusting fine, the back wall and floor are some new type of flooring kind of like linoleum, but its softer, I got at Lowes. Its nicer in the morning to have one main dish to fill instead of a million different dishes. Its hard to drag myself away from "Bird TV" now. :lol:

Very cool! I'm going to have to figure something out soon too. Running out of space! Did you build it yourself?
