I wanted to have a new big cage for my birds to keep indoor for any needing.
So I bought some wood, net, a nailer and started working :D
I hope the wood will last long enough, I covered critical points with corner protectors.
I read people being concerned about galvanized net... I'm not, I always used that king of net and if the galvanizing is of good quality there's no trouble, also a good cleaning, or a period spend outside under the weathering, should remove any free remnant of zinc.
this really inspires me to try and make my own! normal cages this size are VERY expensive in my area, much more than a custom-built one like this
Don't use galvanized metals or non safe wood!
@@juliusroman8616 what are the safe woods for parrot? Poplar, pine... are they safe?
Me too! ^^
@@mertcan6280 Pine is safe as long as it's untreated and you can buy aluminium mesh online.
In my area they grow on trees.
Anything made with so much love cannot be cheap....
You are such an inspiration..... This is so beautiful... I am so bad with maths else I would ove this flight cage in my house. My Parrot would so so love this.. Only if I had little talent.
Wth
that’s so cute they come when you call! and they look so content! Great workmanship
Ya see, this is just what I have been searching for. Mine will be a touch larger, for about 6-8 lovebirds, terra cotta pots for nesting holes, live plants, water feature, so excited…. I post on my page,the progress…enjoyed the vid, inspired me totally…thanks so much…
Omg I'd Love to see it, Craig !!!
I love your video. Your cockatiels are really happy.
R u Japanese?
The secret is in having great tools.
Thank you for making this awesome video!
Happy New Year for all bird lovers around the world🦜🦜🦜🦜🦜🦜

Ikr
Oh wow!!
That fly moment is best....
Me encantó cuando lo llamaste ❤❤
Bravo Complimenti
have to say it's a beautiful cage and the design looks very practical and easy to clean and maintain. please be kind enough to share the dimensions for the cage.
Thank you, internal usable size is 117x57x97 cm
കൊള്ളാം bro 👏👏👍❤️
Super
This is actually an awesome idea than going out and buying one.
Should speak
This would be an excellent cage for birds that don't chew extensively (like my Bourkes)! I wonder how difficult it is to clean up, or install perches/platforms/other toys. One thing I really dislike about the current cage I'm using is that it's near impossible for me to add perches in certain areas by myself. I need an extra hand just to rearrange my birds' cages... :(
To clarify, all my perches are the type that screw into the sides with wing nuts, that's why I have so much trouble. :(
For this kind of cage hes building, id wedge actual sticks in there or use those sand blasted grape vines as perches. ( could look more natural and better for birds feet too!) The wire looks too flimsy to hold the screw in perches. Maybe small ones but not for a big bird.
Measurements please
Nice
Super sir
I have an old cockatiel and hes always had a cage the size of a big shoe box… i hope i can do this for him!!
thats actually depressing
Great
so i saw the description and wanted to know how you degalvanized it because i want to make a cage myself
Nice but I still won't use galvanized and I definitely could not use wood. I would have to rebuild it all very quickly as one of my parakeets loves chewing wood. I have to replace the wooden ladders quite often 😅 Heidi
You just need to ensure that the wire mesh is not galvanised (has a zinc coating) because the birds could bite the cage to climb it and accidentally ingest some zinc which can be fatal.
What can I use instead? Please reply
Stainless steel
Jessika Aceves and not thin mesh so they don’t cut there feet
Cool
good job, great idea, 👍
Where did you source the tray?
how much did the materials cost? just the wood and wire/hinges etc?
Great design and build loved it. Thinking of building one myself for my cockatiels.
Question for you, when they lay eggs, do they need calcium ? and if yes what type or kind should i provide to them. Also, if a bird has low bone density what to do for helping them out.
Where did you get the net? Could you possibly share the link for all the things you bought?
What are thickness and depth of single wood
素晴らしい！作って欲しい！！！
Hello there, do you have instructions of how to build this amazing cage? And thanks for making this video
No sry, just had the idea and tried it right away, marking cutting points on the wood following the dimensions of the tray I already had
I would love to have this for my lovebird couple. They have a cage that is plenty big because I let them out just about everyday for the entire morning so they get lots of exercise flying around the apt and being naughty. I would like to have something like this because I have been thinking about letting them have their babies. Right now I have to sneak the eggs out and replace with fake and then eventually remove those and then they are back to normal until they go through the cycle again. They are very happy and healthy birds and very much bonded. I pray nothing happens to one, it would be heartbreaking for its mate. I am retired and spend all of my time with my animals so I have been seriously considering raising some babies actually letting them raise their own and I would have the extra cage. I wish I was handy and could build something like this. I know my brother is quite good at this sort of thing so maybe I could show him the video and talk him into doing it for me and I'll supply the materials. Thanks for sharing the video.
Could you put in som measurements for the wood pieces if possible or a layout for all the supplies !! I’m very interested in creating a bigger layout for my cocktail!!
Hi, I just built it around the size of the tray I already had, but I haven't any blueprint... It came out 117 x 57 x 97 cm
@@TielZone are those 1 inch thick wood pieces?
How do I fix the net not being tight enugh and the perches wobbling
😀😀😀😀
I wanna make something like this for my budgie but it would be a bit smaller lol
What is the bottom made of
I love this, but also
What prevents little parrots from chewing on the wood? Wouldn't they eventually destroy?
Give them foraging toys
In the video,he already cover them with corner protectors inside the cage to prevent the bird from chewing the wood,but i dont know what material he used
What kind of wood and wire did you use
Base which meterial
Is this good for 2 zebra finches?
What is the mesh size ??
What is the size of brad nail?
Where do you get and what kind of wood are you getting for both the cage and the perches and toys?
Perches and toys I use Hazel branches.
For the cage, 2x2 cm from hardware store
awesome design and pretty simple. one question tho, is it easy to clean as you didn't install pull out system for bird poop and etc.
Should make wire from inside cause bird start biting the wood
Is there a link for materials?
what is that machine is called?
What did you use for the base of the cage? Really nice cage. I may give one a try if I can figure it all out, tho I'm not skilled at building anything.
Demasiado frágil
Hi, where do I buy those wood and wires? Does home depot have it?
Size of the wood
Mentione size of wood and cage plz so we learns
What are the items I used?
My cockatiels are eating anything that made with wood 😂😭
SAME but with my parakeets 😅
Do you think PVC piping might be better? I love your cage, but someone recommended the pvc instead of the wood.
Might be more durable but wood is cheaper and easier to work with... so I used wood and then covered it with these pvc edge protectors
can you provide dimension of the cage
What size of the cage?
HI TIELZONE how are you, i have i simple request can you show us all of your your cockatiel colours/mutations.
Yes plzz
Good idea
Yes please🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
😂😂😂👍👍🐦🐦🐦🌿
Which wood is this. Pls reply me.
Is it okay for parakeets?
What are the sizes?
What is the meshure!!?
Entonces si limpio esa malla ,ya será segura para las ninfas?? , Gracias.quisiera saberlo y quedarme tranquilo sabiendo que hago las cosas bien..mil gracias por las respuestas..
can i buy it
What size is the cage?
Can you link the materials??
How much did It cost you?
I did the same cage some years ago but my birds ate it =)
I'm a bit concerned about it to, that's why I placed corner protectors in some critical points 😅
I'm gonna use it only for particular needings so it's gonna be empty for most of the time, but I'll update in the future to show how much they ruined it!
If you put the chicken wire on the inside it’ll help stop them from chewing on the wood. But it’s much harder to do unless you make it in separate panels and attach together after the mesh in in.
@@CKaiser2076 yep I had the same thought
hi, nice video. I have a question, what measurements do I use for the cage? since I want to do it because the size is excellent for a parrot. and please can you tell me and thanks for reading my comment.😊
Hi, this is 117x57x97
@@TielZone inches ?

No entendí lo que riega en el suelo, es alimento y no se contamina con la kakita de los pájaros?
What's the thickness of wood

👍👍🐦🐦🌿😂
Thank you, no I did it as a mental exercise, nothing written up, just marks on the woods in the cutting points😂
But final dimensions are 117x57x97 cm
@@TielZone thank you so much. This was by far the neatest one I've seen!
Do the cockatiels chew on the wood?
