    Great idea, the grid is invisible to the eye. Вeautiful birds are completely safe! We are waiting for the bird party. Only the pheasant will remain in a bad mood, he is accustomed to treating himself to delicacies from a plate of parrots.

    hi guys good job !I wonder these macaws are for hot weather, how can they survive in this weather and seasons? I am from Caracas Venezuela and we have them free in all the city, they wake up at 6am in the mountain and and go back to the mountain at 6pm. during the day they fly in the city and get fed from fruits on trees and /or people in balconies. basically they are like pigeons in London.

    fantastic job guys. I really like how invisible it is. loving the perches too. Not for hire? You could make net setting a side job. lol 290 pounds is pretty cheap. Even at that it would make it $362.00 here in the US. ❤❤

    Hi I’ve seen your video on bathing the garden. I was wondering how good it would be for mine. I have an outside aviary but my macaw doesn’t like to come from it.
    My thinking is if I can leave the aviary door open and wait for him to come out on his own but still be somewhat safe. I would be outside in the garden ready for him. The only thing is he isn’t flight trained. What do you guys think

    • @MikeyTheMacaw
      @MikeyTheMacaw  2 месяца назад

      Never ever let a bird that isn’t free flight trained outside without a harness.
