Picking the appropriate cage for your pet bird could be tricky : it is sometimes difficult to look for a size and shape that suits both bird and human, and then there would be the excessive pet shop costs to compete with. So, why not create your own, perfect bird cage from scratch as an alternative? All you need is some suitable cage wire and some wood to make a place that feels like home for your feathered friend.

Before the hammer is picked up by you, the most important things to remember is to consult a specialist, such as a vet, or the pet shop owner, about the dimensions and style of the cage. This will make sure that your bird's home is the perfect fit, as not all species are exactly the same. For instance, more room is needed by some breeds to fly about than the others. Also, check if your bird needs any other accessories that will make its stay much more comfortable, such as for instance a sleeping box, a lot of perches, or some toys.

Next, choose the proper cage wire to match your requirements. An outside bird cage will be needing weatherproof, PVC coated or stainless steel wire, and a cage for birds with strong beaks, like parrots, needs uncoated wire, so that they do not peck the plastic layer off over time.

To build the cage, simply nail together a sturdy wooden frame, and then fix the wire to the exterior. Do not forget to make a door large enough for the bird to have out; a fundamental hinged opening at one end will suffice. Also, attempt to construct the bottom of the cage in a manner that allows the floor to be slid by you in and out easily - it makes cleaning a whole lot less hassle.

Finally, pop in some makeshift perches and two little pots for the water and food, and your homemade aviary is all set to go. Although, before you introduce your beaked buddy to its new pad, remember to make sure that everything in the cage is bird - proof, and that there are no sharp objects, or unfinished fixtures, that might lead to your pet damage. mesh grill mesh grills gabions
