Redecorating The Aviary!

Featured Replies

Posted

I couldn't think of an indoor use for the awesome branch i found at the park the other day, so i decided to get creative and redecorate the aviary! :P

 

First things first i had to move the flock into the only clean spare cage i had...hmmm...

Probably should try to work quickly. :)

 

Now for some BEFORE photos

There was a rack of dowel perches in the covered part of the aviary, and a boing which i had stretched out as a big rope perch!

And there were some branches in the front half too!

 

Next step was to empty the aviary of all the old stuff.

I haven't seen the aviary looking like this for a looong time!

 

Then there was a bit of drilling holes and stringing beads on rope, to give me this where the dowel perches were!

I beaded the rope i hung the branch with to stop the forever-chewing ladies from causing a big CRASH by chewing through the rope.

 

In the front half i had more branches and the rope perch too.

So that's that! I was going to get the budgies when i thought there was one more thing the newly decorated could use before welcoming the flock back into their home!

And then it was time for everyone to explore their new jungle.

A job well done in my opinion! And it looks to me like the flock is very happy with the improvements too!

The avairy looks awsome Bea. I bet they love it. I enjoy doing an overhall and taking everything out. I hope they appreciate all your hard work... it looks like they do! Well done 'clap clap' :D

You reminded me of the Guns & Roses song .

 

Welcome to the jungle we've got fun and games :)

 

Ohhh to the jungle , welcome to the jungle.

:P

Looking good. Your birds remind me of mine when fresh bottle brush is introduced.

Thats awesome!! i love the picture of them all crammed in together - "Bombs AWAY!!" :) hehehehe. Makes me want to redecorate mine now :P

looks like they love the new aviary

Looks excellent Bea! and the birds look pleased too :) Makes me want to re-do my aviary now.... although i dread catching all the birds again :S i thought it was bad last time, with HALF the flock i have now! and No Weero's!!! :) Going to have to get a few more cages before i do that though i think :D
