How to - Building a cheap wooden cage for cockatiels
Үй жануарлары мен аңдар
#cage #parrot #diy
I wanted to have a new big cage for my birds to keep indoor for any needing.
So I bought some wood, net, a nailer and started working :D
I hope the wood will last long enough, I covered critical points with corner protectors.
I read people being concerned about galvanized net... I'm not, I always used that king of net and if the galvanizing is of good quality there's no trouble, also a good cleaning, or a period spend outside under the weathering, should remove any free remnant of zinc.

this really inspires me to try and make my own! normal cages this size are VERY expensive in my area, much more than a custom-built one like this

Should speak
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... :(

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

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.
have to say it's a beautiful cage and the design looks very practical and easy to clean and maintain. please be kind enough to share the dimensions for the cage.

The secret is in having great tools.
Great design and build loved it. Thinking of building one myself for my cockatiels. Question for you, when they lay eggs, do they need calcium ? and if yes what type or kind should i provide to them. Also, if a bird has low bone density what to do for helping them out.
That fly moment is best....
so i saw the description and wanted to know how you degalvanized it because i want to make a cage myself
Me encantó cuando lo llamaste ❤❤
കൊള്ളാം bro 👏👏👍❤️ Super

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.

No sry, just had the idea and tried it right away, marking cutting points on the wood following the dimensions of the tray I already had
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.
Could you put in som measurements for the wood pieces if possible or a layout for all the supplies !! I’m very interested in creating a bigger layout for my cocktail!!

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.
