I just ordered an aluminum window awning for my bird room. It seems that one side of the room faces the setting sun so in the afternoon, the sun blares through the window making it quite warm in the room.
So the awning will take care of that little issue quick, fast and in a hurry. I have window awnings on most of the other windows, but not on that particular one. By the way, that was a quick $200.00. Now if you add in Mac's new playstand, that's about $350.00 for the month not to mention another $65.00 on bird grooming last week. Plus I have to schedule Mac for a vet visit for his checkup within the next month. That's another $250.00-$300.00.
So for all you want to be bird owners, these are some of the little things that arise from time to time that will drain your wallet. It's not just the food & toy bills, it's those unexpected little things that come up. Take Mac's playstand for instance. I thought it was still in good useable condition until I took it outside for a thorough cleaning and found RUST. I will not allow my birds to associate with anything that has rust on it period. So out with the old and in with the new. So I wheeled both cages outside (Mac and Tiki's) for a thorough cleaning and examination. Fortunately both cages passed with flying colors or else that would have been another $200.00-$500.00+ unexpected bill.
