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!

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
