Im glad i was able to give you some ideas.

No problem. Definately makes it easier to see in when its black. Yes the aluminium frame and corner pieces made it easy hey. Thanks for watching and commenting.

Thanks for watching and commenting

It black certainly does make it easy to see in and the corners make it easy to assemble. Thanks for watching and commenting.

Yes it does make a difference. Thsnks for watching and commenting.

Thsnks for the kind words. I went into the aluminum supplier thinking to buy other components but when i saw that product, i changed the design. It made construction very much eadier. Good luck woth yours.

Thanks for watching. I hope it provided you with some ideas

Hehe yez it would fit in there too

Indeed it does hey. Thanks for continuing to watch and comment.

Thanks for the comment and watching.

Thanks for watching and commenting.

Yes that is correct. It is building up with seeds

@@AdventurePrimal Sorry to bring it up I did the same mistake,

Gday. Thanks for watching. I had some flat strips of aluminium that i cut up into 30mm strips and then rivotted them over the mesh to the tubes. Theres propabably other ways to do it but thats what i had available at the time.

I have seen them but i was thinking of leaving the numbers low so i can breed up what i have and increase their numbers. I don't want it overcrowded in there. Those finches aren't big though.

@@AdventurePrimal the finches are small and are worth a lot once u get some good colours let me know if you would like a pair I would happily donate a pair to the adventure primal

@@jackenders545 thanks. I might take you up on that one and ill take you out for a fish. What do you say?

Yes it may have saved some time. Thanks for watching and commenting.

the local aluminium supplier kept them there for that reason. It didnt take much convincing to buy them when i bought the aluminium tube. It made the job alot easier.

Yes they are like big vases. I put some water in there thinking the branches will last longer. The bords usually chew it to pieces in a couple of days so i dont really know if it helps keep the branches alive

Nice. Happy to know it helps. I bought mine at Action Aluminium in Geebung Brisbane.

@@AdventurePrimal thanks for your reply! Would you say that their prices and quality beat the tubes from Bunnings?

@@SettlersPrimary sorry. I didnt look into Bunnings for these items. Im not sure if they have this system. I didnt think the pricing at Action to be bad

@@AdventurePrimal No problem, thanks for your help.

Thanks Vincent. It was just some waterbased exterior paint. The birds have been climbing it using thier beaks for a long time now and it has had no effect on them.

its approx. those dimensions. I just got the size tube that matched the joiners.

Thanks a lot

The plywood is screwed to the deck joists. The hinges are aluminium butt hinges sized to suit the alauminium tubing. Thanks for watchong and commenting.

If i recall, the total build cost was around $800. The cage is still in great shape. The birds have not damahed it and no rodents or snakes have gotten in. The mesh is the standard 12mm avary type. I bought it from a landscape supplier not bunnings. Shop around online. You will find it at better pricing than bunnings. The aluminium tube and joiners i got from an aluminium supplier. I think i said the suppliers name in a prevoius post. Again shopping around gets better pricing than bunnings.

Im lucky as i live next to the coast so the temp range is smAll and it doesnt get too cold. With it being built under my back deck, it doesnt get rain in there and the deck keeps the sun off in summer.

I got the aluminium and jioners at action aluminium actionaluminium.com.au/ I got the mesh from a landscaping place but you can get it from hardware stores. Just search for aviary mesh.

@@AdventurePrimal I see. In the US, a lot of mesh that is galvanized with zinc which is toxic for parrots. Are you using stainless steel?

No. Not stsinless steel. Just the standard aviary mesh which is galvanised. No issues so far. Have a read of the warning on the below link. discountlandscapesupplies.com.au/product/aviary-wire-mesh/

Yes. In winter the sun shines in under there, covering about half of it. In summer the afternoon sun gets in there.

Yes they are plastic

Sorry. I dont remember the guage. Its the standard avairy mesh

I'm a 13 yr old this is my idea P=pole Cw=chicken wire W= wall D=door P cw---------------------cw P Cw | | | | P cw-----------------------------P Chicken wire walls and roof with 4 poles behind poles is a little indoor shed for them to go in and the necessary stuff and toys and stuff!

A weekly rake off of the top layer. Then apply new sand topup when it gets low.

It doesnt get too cold where i am. An enclosure could be added for colder climates

Yes that is correct. 25mm square hollow tube aluminium.

@@darrynbowden3290 I thort so 😁 Thank you 😊

I used exterior water-based paint.

Id think you would certainly have someone who selld those in the USA. I bought mine from an aluminium supplier, not a hardware or online.

Did you ever find a supplier in the US?

What are the exact names of the materials so I know what to ask for?

@@tcmgirl78 I searched for "aluminum square tube joiners" and can see various versions available. I see them on Amazon USA and ebay. Im sure they would have then any place that supplies aluminum.

It gets done weekly. I rake a thin layer of sand off which removes most of the droppings etc. Every month or so I top up the sand.

I brlieve it came to $820 all up

I got mine at an aluminium supplier

Thanks for shared, do you remember name of aluminum supply ?

@@miketran2294 i got mine at Action Aluminium in Geebung QLD

@@AdventurePrimal thank a lot

I think i spent $800 on it all including sand

An aluminium supplier nearby

Ok. That doesnt sound good

Why is it toxic to parrots just curious?

It isn’t toxic at all

@@nowirehangers2815 yes it is the mesh and wood is toxic

@@michaelmanning3100 so galvanised mesh is toxic due to the zinc. and any sort of wood treatment is toxic to parrots including pressured wood

I didnt know got cold hey. Sorry i dont have an answer for cold but i did see some videos where people were addressing it.
