Despite the wide selection of cages and aviaries for parrots, it is not always possible to find suitable parameters that are right for you in size, type, price. The way out of this situation could be the construction of an aviary for budgies do it yourself.
In this article we give an example of the construction of a specific small indoor aviary measuring: length - 120 cm .; width - 60 cm .; height - 102 cm. pallet - 22 cm. of height.
The frame was bars 30x30mm., Which had previously been cleaned with sandpaper. The bars are fastened with screws and, for greater durability, with metal corners.
The mesh is stretched and nailed with a construction stapler on the inside of the frame, which will protect it from parrots. The sharp edges of the net are bent and driven into the frame so that the birds are not injured. It should also be noted that it is advisable to choose a mesh made of stainless steel, since the metal mesh can rust, which is not only not practical, but can also harm budgerigars.
The size of the mesh cells should not exceed 20 mm, so that parrots could not get out of the aviary or get stuck between the cells. In this case, a mesh with a mesh size of 12, x25 mm was used.
The sliding tray is made of galvanized sheet, which facilitates easy cleaning in the enclosure. They made a pallet in a tin workshop. To make it more convenient to pull it, I attached small round handles. For a more aesthetic appearance, a cover on the hinges is made for the pallet, in addition, when cleaning, parrots can not get out of the aviary.
The bottom of the aviary was multilayer plywood 10 mm thick.
The enclosure is bolted, completely collapsible, which is important when moving or temporary downtime.
