    You just need to ensure that the wire mesh is not galvanised (has a zinc coating) because the birds could bite the cage to climb it and accidentally ingest some zinc which can be fatal.

  • @Sylvelourie
    @Sylvelourie 4 роки тому +8

    This would be an excellent cage for birds that don't chew extensively (like my Bourkes)! I wonder how difficult it is to clean up, or install perches/platforms/other toys. One thing I really dislike about the current cage I'm using is that it's near impossible for me to add perches in certain areas by myself. I need an extra hand just to rearrange my birds' cages... :(

    • @Sylvelourie
      @Sylvelourie 4 роки тому

      To clarify, all my perches are the type that screw into the sides with wing nuts, that's why I have so much trouble. :(

    • @carolinedonnelly1526
      @carolinedonnelly1526 3 роки тому

      For this kind of cage hes building, id wedge actual sticks in there or use those sand blasted grape vines as perches. ( could look more natural and better for birds feet too!) The wire looks too flimsy to hold the screw in perches. Maybe small ones but not for a big bird.

    I would love to have this for my lovebird couple. They have a cage that is plenty big because I let them out just about everyday for the entire morning so they get lots of exercise flying around the apt and being naughty. I would like to have something like this because I have been thinking about letting them have their babies. Right now I have to sneak the eggs out and replace with fake and then eventually remove those and then they are back to normal until they go through the cycle again. They are very happy and healthy birds and very much bonded. I pray nothing happens to one, it would be heartbreaking for its mate. I am retired and spend all of my time with my animals so I have been seriously considering raising some babies actually letting them raise their own and I would have the extra cage. I wish I was handy and could build something like this. I know my brother is quite good at this sort of thing so maybe I could show him the video and talk him into doing it for me and I'll supply the materials. Thanks for sharing the video.

      If you put the chicken wire on the inside it’ll help stop them from chewing on the wood. But it’s much harder to do unless you make it in separate panels and attach together after the mesh in in.

      I think it'll depend on the strength of the wood. Now bigger parrots, like a macaw or cockatoo? Most likely. But if they are that big of a parrot you'd need a bigger cage and it probably shouldn't be made of wood.
