welcome all the inhabitants of our sites!
I want to thank you for the active discussion of homemade "MINI drill from an old flashlight", At your request, on the YouTube site (Iskander AP channel) you can watch field trials of this device (name - of the same name).
But today about something else.
By the will of fate, two diurnal pheasant animals turned up in my education. At first they lived in a small purchase cage, but the crowding of wild birds was not a joy. I had to very quickly and quickly invent, as they say - ... from what it was. I’ll apologize right away, since the shooting was in the reverse order, i.e. first he made a cage (it was not before photographing), the birds lived in it, were released into nature, and then, taking apart the cage, he took a photo. The very residents of the cell can also be seen on the above channel.
For work, we need tools:
- roulette;
- marker;
- electric jigsaw;
- knife;
- screwdriver;
- furniture stapler;
- nippers;
- awl.
Material - pieces of fiberboard, old glazing bead, metal mesh, a piece of thin tin, screws, wire.
I do not give the dimensions of the blanks, because Each will proceed from its own requirements. I show the principle of what I did.
Using a jigsaw, we cut out two blanks for the cage floor, one less than the other on three sides by 2 - 3 cm. We prepare glazing bead sections according to the size of the perimeter of the smaller blank.
We beat the glazing bead with a stapler to a smaller workpiece, this will be a retractable floor, for the convenience of restoring order in the cage.
We prepare several wooden blanks with a square section (~ 2 × 2 cm).
Further, the assembly is simple, everything is visible in the photo, the main condition is that the side walls are attached so that the inner floor extends.
Next, we assemble the structure - glazing bead, clamps for fastening along the edges of the sheet, we fasten the grid to the glazing bead with a stapler. On the inside, we attach pieces of transparent plastic from the packaging to the net (to prevent small debris from flying out of the cage when the birds flap their wings and to protect the base of the beaks from injuries on the net, wild birds really want to be free, so they try to crawl through the cells in the grid).
We fix this design to the cage.
We attach the grid, using wire, to using the holes made with an awl.
For the door, I used the mesh floor from the purchased cage.
We bite the opening in the grid with the wire cutters.
And we fasten the door with wire.
Roof mount inside the cage.
Using the principle of a can for drinking chickens, we make a drinker and feeder from syringes.
We fasten them in a cage.
That's all!
