I am thinking about building a set of 6 wooden breeding cabinets.....

I have seen the wire fronts for sale in my local bird shop for $16, but how do i go about building the rest???

 

Has any one got any blue prints or plans from when they made theirs????

What would the cost roughly be for all the wood to make the cabinets etc??

 

Is it easier/cheaper to buy some...?? do you know where from as SA ebay is lousy for bird stuff.

 

My other option would be to buy six breeding wire cages.... but how to i attach the boxes to them??

 

Thanks in advance

 

**EDIT** I have just found a great topic by Daz on building cabinets -----> HERE

How much would it cost???? is it difficult to do???

After reading Daz's BRILLIANT topic - I think i will go with the wire cages. cheaper, easier to build and easier to clean

 

Silly me for posting a topic that has already been done so brilliantly - i don't know how i missed it

I have some wooden cabinets that are in need of some repairs, and I will do it, but I doun that it will be much easier to use wire cages that i bought.

By the way Liv, I have seen wire fronts for $10....... just for your info

really...?? Where???

I started out building new breeder cabinets. Made two units, three wide, with removable dividers.

Then I bought some really cheap wire cages, which I have been using. I have now come to the conclusion that for me, the wire cages are better. BUT I am about to make carcasses of melamine ( cupboard sections ) that will hold and support the wire cages. I will also put a sliding glass section across the front so that seed debris doesnt come out and go all over the place. Thats my new plan. The units I made already will be my new kindie cages.

I like the idea of cages too. I can buy them from my local shop for about $30 each - I was going to buy a heap of them on the weekend, but they had sold out.

 

I am keeping my options open though as i am also looking at some second hand (wooden) cabinets - It will all depend on what fits best in my little shed
