I agree with Bill. Hubby could build them and sell them for big bucks

Super nice.... the finches wil love it

Like the natural finish, good choice.

Just typed a note and lost everything

Anyway, WOW Janine, I haven't visited this post all week. Your hubby did an amazing job!!! It looks like those very expenses cages from Cage by Design

Will this be a double flight? What will you be using for the front of it? I see your using wire on the sides. Very beautiful job, I love the background pics too!!

Boy, that is a really, really nice cage. Wonderful job your hubby did. You are very lucky in both respects.. and so are the little birds!

Hubby says thanks to everyone for all the compliments.

The idea did come from Cages by Design.. He built it because $7000.00 is sort of a ridiculous price to pay for a bird cage.

It costed us all of $300.00 including the flourescent light fixtures and the background pics, which are actually backgrounds for fish aquariums.. I chose this one because I feld that it would make them feel like they were in a meadow.

It is a double flight. Goulds on top (they will possibly be moving in on Friday if their egg doesn't hatch.) The bottom will be shared by the zebras and the shaftails. First 3 girls will be moving in tomorrow morning. I was afraid to move them in tonight, because I want them to get used their new environment before lights out. This way they will have a full day to get used to it.

The front is plexiglass, so that we can see them without any bars.

Will post pics tomorrow with its first occupants.

I think he made a first class cage, just make sure all the fumes from the varnish are completly gone before you put birds in there new homes

I can't say enough about how nice that is! And such a good idea with the aquarium backing. I'll remember that for future ref. The birds look right at home. Wonderful job! I am sooo envious.

Here's a pic of the occupants that this cage was actually built in mind for.. He looks like he's saying "Hey babe, we're home".

Maybe but I think he wants a family

Good looking pair
