“Echo” - Indian Ringneck
"Chicken" - Sun Conure, rest in peace, my precious friend.
I have been pulling my hair out trying to find a trustworthy seller I can purchase an aviary for my Green Cheek Conure, Bongo, that's in my budget range.![Gcc :gcc: :gcc:](/img/parrotsmilie/gcc.gif)
Do any of you have ideas for what companies or sellers I should look at? I had found a fantastic and affordable one overseas in the UK, but they sadly don't ship to the US. (and of course shipping is a mess right now anyhow, but I am willing to wait for a long time if I at least know where I am buying xD)
I have $800 saved up for the aviary right now, and I was hoping to keep the entire project under $1000. $700-800 is my budget for the actual enclosure space, and the rest for concrete, toys, and decor.
Is that really unrealistic? I've noticed prices have jumped way up since I last looked at aviaries to buy a year or two ago. Cages I could have got for 450 jumped to 600 and 700.
It will be my first time setting one up, and I have handyman to help me! (Thanks, Dad <3)
It doesn't need to be mega huge - but I do want it significantly larger than a standard parrot cage.
Ideal specs would be somewhere around 6 x 4 x 6 [L x W x H], but I can work with almost any shape or size as long as it's a nice amount of space!
I'm open to tutorial recommendations on building an Aviary from scratch, if there's a way to do that for a solid metal one! My bird LOVES to chew wood, and we have a lot of wildlife in the area that passes through, so all metal for security is a must.
This was originally the one I was going to buy, but I checked into the seller and VidaXL has some REALLY bad reviews. It's like 50/50 between their five and one stars, and I don't want to spend a lot of money and risk getting nothing, or a broken item and no refund!:11:
