Upcycled aviary project

[bergeree1989]

Hey guys, I got this idea from pinterest and I thought I could share it to...well, show it off a little
I got a curio cabinet from craiglist and went to town. I took the glass out and swapped in cage material, I put in a ceramic tile floor (really just for looks), and put a big perch in it.
So, now I have a bird cage that looks more like furniture. What do you think?

Edit: They have more enrichment things in there. I swap out toys and they're never bored. It seems kinda empty in the last photo.

Looks good well done. just one thing, please remove the soft tent hide at the bottom. They are dangerous as the birds pull off the fur and get it stuck in their crops which will kill the birds.

Oh yes, that has been out for ages. I had a friend who owns budgies suggest one since her birds love it but once I googled them it was taken out. Also, by green bird loved to...mate with it. Which was unsettling, lol. Thank you so much for pointing it out!

This had me looking at our oak book cupboards - not sure my wife would approve but it's an idea
