How to build a bird aviary 

Damn, 4 year old video and you're still answering, that's dedication! Great job!

Hi, the timber I use is Pine (45mm x 35mm), the type of paint I use is mainly used for garden fencing and is pet friendly and the wire mesh is 13mm x 13mm 19 gauge that I bought in the hardware store. Hope this helps.

Perfect! Nice and simple, easy and concise instructions, looks good too! The hubby and I are building ours today. This has given us the confidence we needed ;-) Thanks!

Want to build an Avery so my indoor cat can go out our patio doors in the summer :). This was a great help! Thank you :D x

I am working on building this myself! I have been searching for months on how to bulid a large indoor bird cage for my 2 parrots. Love the water and feeding area. Thank you so much!!

That came out very nice! I love the color! Also the perches look like a pro job! You just inspired me to build one! I've been wanting to for a very long time! Thanks a lot!

Awesome job mate.... very simple and well built...will definitely be useing your design....thanks Brownie.

Beautiful aviary if only I had space for one I would love to have that kind of aviary

Thank goodness I found this video! I need to make an enclosure for a peacock & your vid & my modifications of the size I pulled it off! Very grateful!​ Sláinte

Great design. Love the way you approached the build. 👍🏻

Good info...really helped,.thank you for doin this video....its much better when u get to see how its done and really good idea puttin mesh inside...

Ty because this my hubby built me several n was able to keep all my birds n he stop complain bout how many he is gonna make me indoor aviary n divide si I hVe room my bigger birds u made easy for him God bless you try again

This is amazing! Helps me a lot with building my own indoor aviary. Thank you so much for making this video!

Just wanted to complement you on your really nice aviary. Your construction methods are just what I was looking for. Thanks so much for sharing!

This design is absolutely beautiful! Very nice job and thank you for the information!

Nice job!!! your birds are going to be really comfortable ... i considering to make my own birdcage and the video really helped!!!

Thats a great job you did, its beautiful.

great job I loved your aviary we were also thinking of making an aviary for parakeets in our balcony your video helped alot

Looks great! I'm going to be building one soon.

Brilliant job! Thanks for uploading it.

good job! thanks for the video,gonna try to build this myself

Thank you! See, that information I have not found anywhere else. :) So helpful.

This is brilliant. Thanks!

Very nice job and your birds will have so much room. I am considering just building my own. Much cheaper and you get a larger space for the birds.

Good and simple. can't stop watching it. Will get ideas from it. Thank you

Great video, nice clear and easy to follow instructions for a great aviary, and nice neat work too. I'm going to give it a go, but I'm not sure it'll look as good as yours! Thanks for posting this, Bobdrinksalot :o)

This is an inspiring video and much like I envision my future aviary. The only thing I would add is a half inch clearance on the bottom under which I could slide a floor pan out to clean it without having to get into the cage.

Really like it and you did a very good job!!!

Great job Sir and thank you for your post. I’m on this 😉🇺🇸

Wow! Very Beautiful & Simple! I Love This Idea!

Good job, Looks great,

good job! thanks for share this video very nice....

Awesome. We have been searching and searching for a cage big enough for our 13 cockatiels and he suggested maybe building one. We just might after seeing this. Looks Great !! I drink a lot too ...lol

I would love to see a follow up video with the birds safely in their home, with parrots though i would not paint the timber, stain and paint can be toxic if they do nibble as I've noticed the added perches do not seem to be protected with the mesh.

Just what I was looking for thank you

Simple and perfect!

Thank you so much for sharing this on RU-vid. It is a really good video your a star. I purchased my timber from Wickes currently £12.60 for 8 pieces. I purchased my wire from Wickes but you can get 19 from Ebay for less, but it has a five year guarantee 6 meters by about 1 meter is about £22.00. In their brochure there is a 20% off timber.

Thank you for sharing this mate, I’m using the same principle for a catio (I breed pedigree cats)

Thanks, glad it helped.

Awsome looks great👍

Good job indeed good idea thanks

Skilled carpentry excellent work

hi my next doors asked me to make one ,saw you on here ,your very good well done exactly what and how im going to do exact size as well , not bothering to watch any others do the same thing , once again well done , ps see those screws see if they put some hair on the top you would get the bit into the screw first time ,

great job

Thanks for the answer.It does look better painted :)

Well done, Thank you

Awesome aviary love your design. I will try to duplicate it....thank you.

Can you provide a list of all the things required to build this aviary? It would be really helpful.

Brilliant 👏

I will use this as an inspiration thank you so much i own doves

Can you make a pic of your plans Awesome!!

Neat aviary

It's completely up to yourself if you paint it or not, this is just something I have always done. I put nothing on the floor of the aviary, it's just standing on the concrete.

Nice!

great job.and if you use a metal structure , how do you fixate the net?

Very nice!! What kind of birds will you put in it?

Good job m8

thanks bro... very simple yet very nice cage... good job....

I think this video is very important for my future home plan

this was helpful

Superb construction. well done.

What wire would you recommend for consures?? Trying to build a aviary for consures , and budgies , cockatiels.

Hi there, first I'd like to say the aviary looks great! I am planning on building one myself. I wanted to know what type of lumber you used, what type of paint, and type of wire? Just want to make sure I'm using safe materials for my finches. Thanks!

Always remember to be extremely careful when building an aviary! You must do research! You can't just buy whatever wood or wire is cheapest because many types of wood are poisonous to birds and many types of metals are too. Also, if the metal is too thin or weak, chipping can occur causing other health problems. Please choose you materials wisely so you don't risk the safety of your birds!

Awesome

Beautiful Avery cage, ❤️❤️❤️

Hello community! I'd like to ask a question. What wood is strong enough for making an eclectus indoor aviary? I am buying a young female soon.

very nice and simple cage

Nice. Respect 👍

Very nice video. Thank you.

I left a 4mm space between the door and the frame, that's 4mm space on both sides and the top and bottom, 1 cm would be too much. Hope this helps.

Bob, You did a great job on this cage. What kind of birds you raise or keep?

top aviary n im liking this also coz i drink alot too hahaha ;)

Great vid. I'm trying to find the nerve to build my own indoor aviary for my finches. I am just curious, what do you use as flooring? how easy is it to clean? Thanks so much! awesome work!

I'm thinking about making one of these for my cockatiel, but I've got limited space so I was thinking of doing it 2.5ft deep, 4ft long and 5ft high. I'm just not sure if that's a big enough space for her to be comfortable flying in. And we couldn't find a wire that would be good for her to climb around on, do you have any idea how big it needs to be for her to feel comfortable to fly in?

Would it be possible to turn a whole backyard into an aviary by netting from the top of the fence?

Thanks.

I wish i could have all that space for my 2 cockatiel

Cheer's mate.

Thank's.

Hi... Just wondering where you bought that mesh? Cheers

Forgot to ask ..Is it necessary to paint it? Does it matter? Also what do you use for the bottom? I couldn't quite see it.

nice job

Hey that is beautiful! Well done! What sizes timber pieces did you use? Thanks

my geneous brother what is size of your wood , screws and how much it coasts

How many inches of staple did u used to hold down the wire fence

lovely aviary bob, where are you in ireland do you sell them? breeding boxes very nice also

Hi, I used the same wire on the roof as I did for the side's. If you look at the last picture in the video you can see it.

Where did you get the wire from

I have a question about the door. How much space did you leave between the door and the door frame? Is 1 cm on each side enough? I don't want the door to get stuck or the budgies to try to squeeze out.

thanks for the video and i make one like it thanks you very much

neat but do u know how to build a parakeet playground or play area

hello, please could you tell me the cost of this Avery? you have made, as shown in your video. I think its very good and practical for my own Avery, which i intend to have made. Also do you make this type of Avery for customers?

I would use a much thicker gauge wire and just weld it to the metal structure, although I have never made an aviary out of metal. The wire I use in this video would be to thin to do that.

Thanks. I used a staple gun with 14mm staples.

How many lengths of wood do you need to purchase to do it

nice cage

Hi nice to meet you :) great video, and a very nice Aviary build well done, thank you for taking time to share this, very helpful...would of loved to see the birds in it too :) what wire do you recommend that is safe, as I keep reading how galvanised wire is toxic to birds.... I have two cockatiels and a Galah :) thanks again, have a nice day :) Magz :)

Hi Bob, what kind of paint did you use ... is there anything specific that would be non-toxic for birds?

could I ask the size of the timber you used is it 2" x2" ? also how many timbers was there in total before you chopped them up and what length please
