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

Before you pick up the hammer, the most important things to remember is to consult a specialist, such as a vet, or the pet shop owner, about the design and dimensions of the cage. This will make sure that your bird's home may be the perfect fit, as not all species would be the exact same. As an example, more room is needed by some breeds to fly about than others. Also, check if your bird needs any other accessories that may 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 fit your needs. An outside bird cage will need weatherproof, PVC coated or stainless steel wire, and uncoated wire is needed by a cage for birds with strong beaks, like parrots,, in order that they do not peck the plastic layer off as time passes.

To build the cage, only nail together a sturdy wooden frame, and then secure the wire to the outside. Do not forget to create a door big enough for the bird to obtain out; a basic hinged opening at one end will suffice. Also, attempt to construct the bottom of the cage in a way that allows the floor to be slid by you in and out easily - it makes cleaning a lot less hassle.

Finally, pop in a few makeshift perches and two little pots for the water and food, and your homemade aviary is all set to go. That could cause your furry friend harm, although, before you introduce your beaked buddy to its new pad, remember to make sure that there are no sharp objects, or unfinished fixtures, and that everything in the cage is bird - proof.
