You are so talented! Very spacious yet lightweight. My cage is wrought iron and sits on a stand. It's roomy but heavy even with wheels. Great job my friend! 💛🐦🐦
Nicely done! Maybe I will make one too for our apartment terrace, thanks for the idea! The wire mesh should be made from stainless steel (not toxic for birds?)
Stainless steel is the best, galvanized mesh is ok if of good quality, when the process is done right there are no residuals. I used them for many years with never a problem, but with stainless steel you are extra safe
Wow awesome, can we make this with any regular wood? Does it have to be stainless steel wire? Please let me know, thanks! ( *question, is this lightweight? How much does yours weight?? Is it easy to pick up or not?* )
I was just thinking of making a cage these days. The wire part confuses me. Stainless steel is often hard to find and expensive. Galvanized metal also causes heavy metal poisoning to birds as they bite. You have beautiful birds and experience. Do you have any information that galvanized metal wires will corrode with the bite of a cockatiel or cause metal poisoning with its licking?
All my cages are of galvanized metal and I have many cockatiels since many years, with no poisoning. If the process was made right there should be no residuals and should not corrode, cockatiels climb on the wire but it's just that. I always leave the net outside under the weather conditions for weeks, this also serves as a washout for eventual residuals. But of course if you can get stainless stell just get it so you are extra safe
This stuff is called hardware cloth. It's metal or can be tough plastic - both are called hardware cloth. The plastic stuff is tough and lasts a good long time and you don't have to worry about it rusting or becoming toxic if unpainted. Small birds like budgies and cockatiels really can't chew through it. Bigger birds can however. There is metal hardware cloth as well and it's most likely galvanized (which means it won't rust. Should always get galvanized or stainless steel when housing birds). You can get this already coated in plastioc as well. You've probably seen it, it's usually green. Get about 1/2 gauge. You'll find it with stuff to make fences, comes in rolls. You can paint the steel too just make sure you use Rustoleum. Birds - at least the ones I've raised, don't usually chew on the metal, or cage bars. I've never had any toxic problems using Rustoleum. I'd paint it too as the steel might degrade to zinc if left wet over and over through time and that is toxic - VERY TOXIC to birds should they get it in their system by climbing around using their beak. Same thing with cheap so-called stainless steel feeders. Be very careful and pay for the real thing because the cheap chinese version degrades with zinc being a byproduct and zinc will poison a bird's drinking water eventually over time. That goes for toys as well. Cheap bells, hangers, etc. rust snd are a waste of money and no good for your bird.

Absolutely love this idea. How easily you made the cage.
Well done, thank you for the tutorial. Grazie amico.

Awesome

Hello, what is the tool you use? a nail gun? do you have the references? thank you so much
It's the tacklife 2 in 1, it's both a nailer and stapler, works attached to an air compressor
@@TielZone Thank you
@@TielZone I have the same tool!!
Size?
Great video, agree very talented. Only one negative, music was awful, I turned it down so I suppose it’s a choice.
Bro cocktaiel homing training video needed in detail
lol 🤩
