Hi all I thought i would show you how to make a photo cage for next to nothing.

 

My cage, I have a couple of them, in differing sizes, are made from Twilweld mesh (bird wire) not to light though, held together by plastic cable wire The perch is best placed diagonally in the cage from left front to right back, or have a revolving perch set-up to give more flexibility.

I think my first one is about 14 inches square, but you can make it any size but not to small.

With mine I made the door large so I could frame the photo with my SLR but now that I have a Canon Compact and the

lens will fit in the wire the next cage I make I will make it a few inches deeper and just a normal little door for the bird to in.

 

 

 

 

 

 

They are easy to make, once you have joined all sides you need to cut the wire at the back on top for you coloured card t or paper to slide in.

Any questions please ask, have fun making one.

I have one I was given....its a show cage with a plexiglass front

I thought this cage any one can make.

I made another one that is a double depth wooden show cage with the background painted it works well too. It has the show cage front

Will have to save that one Splat, better than dodging bars, thanks for the tip. Can usually make things in a sort of a fashion. It's the ideas dept I'm lacking in.

It is really easy Robyn just work out your size first.

Great idea, Splat! I have some spare wire sitting around. Maybe this will help me be able to get some better photos.
