Mabel-Yellow sided green cheek conure. Hatch-Day 5 of February.
Hi! I have a female yellow sided green cheek conure Mabel. She very sweet, active, messy and loud. She loves taking baths and going walks with her harness outside. Her cage dimensions are: 39×19×70 inches. It is homemade. This is Mabel:

Welcome to the forums to both of you - Mabel is a beauty! :love:
 
Welcome to the forums!
Oh my floof! she is a beauty!
 
Welcome and be welcomed.

Noticed your home made cage has what is known as hardware cloth, a woven sheet of metal wires. If that is steel with a zinc coating on it, be aware that zinc is toxic to birds.

Hello, and welcome. Mabel is a beauty, and it sounds as though she has quite a good life. I am interested in seeing more of her custom cage!

As @wrench13 mentioned, if that is not stainless-steel wire mesh (It is hard to tell from a photo.), it could pose a hazard to Mabel. The dark areas at each intersection of mesh indicate that it would be "galvanized before welding" (GBW, versus GAW), if it is galvanized wire mesh. The plating will start to separate at those joints, over time, and she could ingest some, getting metal poisoning.

Here is a link explaining GBW, with a good photo.

Here is a photo of GAW (galvanized after weld), which is much safer:
