It's Much nicer than I expected to find, and they sold it to me for 1/2 price - woohoo
So... now begins the conversion.
I have seriously considered plexiglass for a front - which is my ideal, but not affordable at the moment. So I'm going with galvanized wire - which is the Only thing I can find in this city that's at all suitable.
After some research I understand that washing this with a strong vinegar solution will remove any zinc residue from the wire (from the galvanizing process). If I was housing hookbills there's no way I'd use this wire, but it seems to be fine for non-chewing birds.
I have a load of ideas in my head on plans for
- access through the wire fronting and possibly the sides as well.
- creating perches with local willow (and possibly a large enough branch that it will look like a tree in the center)
- possibly adding pegboard to the back side for easy mounting of feeders/waterers/nests...
But I could use a LOT more!
If you've got ideas - I would LOVE to hear them... ALL of them!
Please.....
