I wanted to have a new big cage for my birds to keep indoor for any needing.
So I bought some wood, net, a nailer and started working :D
I hope the wood will last long enough, I covered critical points with corner protectors.
I read people being concerned about galvanized net... I'm not, I always used that king of net and if the galvanizing is of good quality there's no trouble, also a good cleaning, or a period spend outside under the weathering, should remove any free remnant of zinc.

this really inspires me to try and make my own! normal cages this size are VERY expensive in my area, much more than a custom-built one like this
Don't use galvanized metals or non safe wood!
@@juliusroman8616 what are the safe woods for parrot? Poplar, pine... are they safe?
Me too! ^^
@@mertcan6280 Pine is safe as long as it's untreated and you can buy aluminium mesh online.
In my area they grow on trees.
Anything made with so much love cannot be cheap....
You are such an inspiration..... This is so beautiful... I am so bad with maths else I would ove this flight cage in my house. My Parrot would so so love this.. Only if I had little talent.
Wth
that’s so cute they come when you call! and they look so content! Great workmanship
Ya see, this is just what I have been searching for. Mine will be a touch larger, for about 6-8 lovebirds, terra cotta pots for nesting holes, live plants, water feature, so excited…. I post on my page,the progress…enjoyed the vid, inspired me totally…thanks so much…
Omg I'd Love to see it, Craig !!!
I love your video. Your cockatiels are really happy.
R u Japanese?
Happy New Year for all bird lovers around the world🦜🦜🦜🦜🦜🦜
Very nice cage👍
Thank you for making this awesome video!
It's a masterpiece. I've never done anything like that but now I'd love to try ☺️
Beautiful Work
And it makes a great chew toy!
Your birds are so cute.
That was beautiful
Great Work!!❤️
Thank you. Plain on making one soon.
You are a master builder😊 good job
6:21 😍 I want to do this too, but too much hawks around and my bird is not trained
have to say it's a beautiful cage and the design looks very practical and easy to clean and maintain. please be kind enough to share the dimensions for the cage.
Thank you, internal usable size is 117x57x97 cm
This would be an excellent cage for birds that don't chew extensively (like my Bourkes)! I wonder how difficult it is to clean up, or install perches/platforms/other toys. One thing I really dislike about the current cage I'm using is that it's near impossible for me to add perches in certain areas by myself. I need an extra hand just to rearrange my birds' cages... :(
To clarify, all my perches are the type that screw into the sides with wing nuts, that's why I have so much trouble. :(
For this kind of cage hes building, id wedge actual sticks in there or use those sand blasted grape vines as perches. ( could look more natural and better for birds feet too!) The wire looks too flimsy to hold the screw in perches. Maybe small ones but not for a big bird.
This is actually an awesome idea than going out and buying one.
Should speak
Wow thats very nice good job my frind i like to buy from you its really amazing
Very nice I'm going to make 1 this week
Beautiful
Great Work Bro Appreciated From karachi Pakistan 🇵🇰
You just need to ensure that the wire mesh is not galvanised (has a zinc coating) because the birds could bite the cage to climb it and accidentally ingest some zinc which can be fatal.
What can I use instead? Please reply
Stainless steel
Jessika Aceves and not thin mesh so they don’t cut there feet
Wow, what a beautiful vedio 😍😍
how much did the materials cost? just the wood and wire/hinges etc?
Great design and build loved it. Thinking of building one myself for my cockatiels.
Question for you, when they lay eggs, do they need calcium ? and if yes what type or kind should i provide to them. Also, if a bird has low bone density what to do for helping them out.
my bird loves it thanks bro
That fly moment is best....
This is amazing....
O
കൊള്ളാം bro 👏👏👍❤️
Super
nice tutorial 😀
Ikr
so i saw the description and wanted to know how you degalvanized it because i want to make a cage myself
Hello there, do you have instructions of how to build this amazing cage? And thanks for making this video
No sry, just had the idea and tried it right away, marking cutting points on the wood following the dimensions of the tray I already had
I would love to have this for my lovebird couple. They have a cage that is plenty big because I let them out just about everyday for the entire morning so they get lots of exercise flying around the apt and being naughty. I would like to have something like this because I have been thinking about letting them have their babies. Right now I have to sneak the eggs out and replace with fake and then eventually remove those and then they are back to normal until they go through the cycle again. They are very happy and healthy birds and very much bonded. I pray nothing happens to one, it would be heartbreaking for its mate. I am retired and spend all of my time with my animals so I have been seriously considering raising some babies actually letting them raise their own and I would have the extra cage. I wish I was handy and could build something like this. I know my brother is quite good at this sort of thing so maybe I could show him the video and talk him into doing it for me and I'll supply the materials. Thanks for sharing the video.
What are thickness and depth of single wood
Where did you get the net? Could you possibly share the link for all the things you bought?
The secret is in having great tools.
awesome design and pretty simple. one question tho, is it easy to clean as you didn't install pull out system for bird poop and etc.
Could you put in som measurements for the wood pieces if possible or a layout for all the supplies !! I’m very interested in creating a bigger layout for my cocktail!!
Hi, I just built it around the size of the tray I already had, but I haven't any blueprint... It came out 117 x 57 x 97 cm
@@TielZone are those 1 inch thick wood pieces?
What did you use for the base of the cage? Really nice cage. I may give one a try if I can figure it all out, tho I'm not skilled at building anything.
I love this, but also
What prevents little parrots from chewing on the wood? Wouldn't they eventually destroy?
Give them foraging toys
In the video,he already cover them with corner protectors inside the cage to prevent the bird from chewing the wood,but i dont know what material he used
Where did you source the tray?
Measurements please
Me encantó cuando lo llamaste ❤❤
Hi, where do I buy those wood and wires? Does home depot have it?
Entonces si limpio esa malla ,ya será segura para las ninfas?? , Gracias.quisiera saberlo y quedarme tranquilo sabiendo que hago las cosas bien..mil gracias por las respuestas..
Where do you get and what kind of wood are you getting for both the cage and the perches and toys?
Perches and toys I use Hazel branches.
For the cage, 2x2 cm from hardware store
Do you think PVC piping might be better? I love your cage, but someone recommended the pvc instead of the wood.
Might be more durable but wood is cheaper and easier to work with... so I used wood and then covered it with these pvc edge protectors
I have an old cockatiel and hes always had a cage the size of a big shoe box… i hope i can do this for him!!
thats actually depressing
How do I fix the net not being tight enugh and the perches wobbling
HI TIELZONE how are you, i have i simple request can you show us all of your your cockatiel colours/mutations.
Yes plzz
Good idea
Yes please🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻

hi, nice video. I have a question, what measurements do I use for the cage? since I want to do it because the size is excellent for a parrot. and please can you tell me and thanks for reading my comment.😊

Bravo Complimenti
What kind of wood and wire did you use
I wanna make something like this for my budgie but it would be a bit smaller lol
What is the size of brad nail?
I did the same cage some years ago but my birds ate it =)
I'm a bit concerned about it to, that's why I placed corner protectors in some critical points 😅
I'm gonna use it only for particular needings so it's gonna be empty for most of the time, but I'll update in the future to show how much they ruined it!
If you put the chicken wire on the inside it’ll help stop them from chewing on the wood. But it’s much harder to do unless you make it in separate panels and attach together after the mesh in in.
@@CKaiser2076 yep I had the same thought
What is the bottom made of
Is this good for 2 zebra finches?
what is that machine is called?
No entendí lo que riega en el suelo, es alimento y no se contamina con la kakita de los pájaros?

bravo pour cette belle vidéo très agréable à regarder!!!très belle voliere!!!!pouvez vous me dire comment vous entretenez les perchoirs puisqu ils ne sont apparemment pas traité ?vous les lavez a l eau seule ou avec un produit?merci d avance pour votre reponse!!
Size of the wood
Oh wow!!
Is there a link for materials?
Is it okay for parakeets?
does cockatiels need wider cage or taller cage? and can all mutations of cockatiels breed with each other like Normal gray with Cinnamon cockatiel? plz reply......
Taller rather than wide
Thanks!
Thank you!
hola quiero comprar las jaula omlet pero no se si es bueno para los periquitos
How much did It cost you?
Where did you buy the corner protectors?and what material you use?is it pvc ?
Yes it's PVC, I find these in every big hardware store
素晴らしい！作って欲しい！！！
What are the items I used?
Can you link the materials??
Nice but I still won't use galvanized and I definitely could not use wood. I would have to rebuild it all very quickly as one of my parakeets loves chewing wood. I have to replace the wooden ladders quite often 😅 Heidi
Which wood is this. Pls reply me.
What size of the cage?
good job, great idea, 👍
What is the meshure!!?
Your cockatiels were outside? How is it that they never flew away?
Should make wire from inside cause bird start biting the wood
que medidas son?
What size is the cage?
Como hiciste para educarlos 🤯
can you provide dimension of the cage
Could anyone tell what the thing at 3:53 is that he is putting inside the cage? Is it to reinforce the wood? What's it called?
Not to reinforce, just to protect the wood from the birds' pecking. It's a PVC corner protector
Nice
Do the cockatiels chew on the wood?
A bit :D
Super sir
Do you happen tío have blueprints.. this is so great..
👍👍🐦🐦🌿😂
Thank you, no I did it as a mental exercise, nothing written up, just marks on the woods in the cutting points😂
But final dimensions are 117x57x97 cm
@@TielZone thank you so much. This was by far the neatest one I've seen!
can i buy it
how is it that your birds doesnt get attack by bigger birds like owls?
Maybe they live in Australia and they survive the same way they would in the wild? Considering how close they are to this person, I doubt it. But it is really impressive.
What's the thickness of wood
2x2 cm
What are the sizes?
