I wanted to make a bigger area for my budgies to move around in because they are such active little birds. I let them out, but play merry heck getting them back in the cage-and who could blame them? I looked online at flight cages, but decided I could do better for them if I built them something even bigger. I hate the mess that gets thrown out the cage bars, and this solves that problem completely and truly contains it inside the footprint of the cage. Plus I really wanted to get all of my birds (except the macaw who takes showers) a filtered water feature they could play and drink from which is really hard to set up on a cage made for smaller birds like budgies. I didn't feel it would have the strength to safely hold it up on the smaller thinner bars. So my darling hubby stepped in again to help me out, and together we built them an enclosure with a 36" screen door front so the whole thing is roughly 45" wide-floor to ceiling tall. It's not done and it's missing the background (being shipped to us right now). I think I have it set up ok minus a few toys that will have to be hung on wooden blocks hanging from the wall since there are no cage bars to screw anything to. Still working on that. I plan to add in some silk greenery as well, maybe some leaves stuck here and there on the wall for a more natural look in there. I wanted it to feel like a woodlandish play gym area. Here's what I have so far:
