Do-It-Yourself Aviary




The one thing I don't like about commercial bird cages is you have to stare through bars to see your birds. You also don't have much say in custom sizes. I wanted the bird's enclosure to hang in the bay window, above the bearded dragon, during the warm months (or 3/4's of the Texas year), and for winter they will have a different enclosure that will go over the mantle.

So I got some plexiglass, some egg crate light panels, some custom wire shelving units, some decorative chains, some wooden dowel rods, a few live plants and some fake ones, and about a million zip ties, and a few hundred sketches later I have my aviary.
