Great job guy's, team work is the best work. I can't see it at all on video. You can breathe easier knowing Mikey and Mia are safe and most importantly not destroying your neighbors laundry,lol. Thanks for taking us along, hope to see a party soon,lol.👍❤️

[@MikeyTheMacaw]

Thanks so much!!! Yes will plan a bird party soon for sure

[@dskim5848]

Very cool! Birds will be totally happy. Excellent video! Barely can see the net.Labor intensive but economical.

[@MikeyTheMacaw]

Haha very labour intensive but hopefully it should last a while. Thanks for watching.

[@jillsodins313]

Ty so much. I need to enclose a small porch and since it’s not built yet this helps me with planning.

[@MikeyTheMacaw]

Yay. Glad it helped.

[@tom4465]

Responsible vlogging bird owners ❤

[@lisacarrero3245]

GREAT JOB 🔥🔥🔥THIS BREAK DOWN WAS EPIC 👏... I LOVE YOUR BACKYARD 🔥🔥🔥THANKS FOR ANOTHER GREAT VIDEO 👍👍👍HOPE YA'LL HAVE A WONDERFUL WEEKEND 🙋‍♀️

[@MikeyTheMacaw]

Yay thank you so much. It’s so hit and miss when we put out these long detailed videos haha, so glad you enjoyed it.

[@ja_mur]

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.

[@MikeyTheMacaw]

Haha I know. Poor pheasant. And yes. When we have a free weekend we will be getting a few bird peeps around

[@1hawaii21]

Thank you. This is fabulous.❤️🙏🙏🙏❤️

[@MikeyTheMacaw]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@timefortinybirdandfriends6565]

Awesome!

[@brokenredflag]

😮 thats amazing!! And so low cost. 👏👏👏

[@MikeyTheMacaw]

Couldn’t believe how little it cost for the return we get

[@jamesdelgado2009]

This is so cool. Unfortunately, I have too many trees in my backyard to do this.

[@nirvanamadpaul]

Safety first...we understand it as sad as it is. Im currently using my baba to help calm a near wild bng... Birdy see, birdy do... Were up to taking food from the hand. Next target stick and clicker trainning.... Still no bites 😊

[@kip2200]

Brill video explaining thanku… i wanna do bigger outside area for my guys im only in a bungalow so wont have too many issues for the height but it will still give them more outside space.. this tutorial was great and all the products and costs too so thanku! Kip n da boyz

[@MikeyTheMacaw]

Thanks so much. So glad it helped.

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

[@3kt0ras29]

I really love the net, but i have a smaller bird. Can you recommend a good net for a parrots like cockatiels and conures .

[@MikeyTheMacaw]

The net in this vid would be perfectly fine for them too

[@margiemargie5]

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. ❤❤

[@MikeyTheMacaw]

Haha thanks, if our lives weren’t so busy as they are we could, but it’s not something we would prefer to do in our free time haha.

[@margiemargie5]

@@MikeyTheMacaw Yeah, you're right. I'd much rather fly the birds in my free time. At least that's enjoyable.

[@Mrsoya0]

Hey guys , in the video you went to the bird show you had a lead on there ring what was it you used as my guys hate the harnesss

[@MikeyTheMacaw]

That was a tiny bird harness we got on Amazon, made our own clips for the ring. Wouldn’t advise as they can bite through them lol

[@imtrex521]

You just had to get the fishing line up 😅😅 I knew that was coming😅

[@MikeyTheMacaw]

Haha, really didn’t need to but I wasn’t having it go to waste lol

[@JacobUl]

Will the new net withstand possible snow now?

[@MikeyTheMacaw]

It should do but the good thing is with only 3 lines, it will be very easy to loosen and tighten

[@timefortinybirdandfriends6565]

Plus, the cost of a case of beer for your friend!

[@MikeyTheMacaw]

Hahah yup

[@miroslavakacurova4762]

Wish I was more careful before my eckee boy flew away 5 days ago... lilly kukis mrs ia missing him hardcore and we are heartbroken but freedom to him god

[@MikeyTheMacaw]

So sorry to hear this.

[@isabellacullen7193]

So...would this work for cats? Cats that have never been outside because we live on a busy main road, but who'd love to explore the garden 🤔

[@MikeyTheMacaw]

Yea most cat owners use stuff like this.

[@Mrcrazy123-ky6ud]

Hi I am just wondering where did you get your bird net from

[@MikeyTheMacaw]

This video explains everything and shows where everything is from

[@Macaw3902]

good video😎, I really want to breed a pair of American parrots, but they cost a lot of money in Israel😭

[@MikeyTheMacaw]

Birds are far more expensive to keep than to buy

[@Macaw3902]

@@MikeyTheMacaw I know but I really like parrots and it's my dream to have one like that🥲

[@christymccracken5227]

Tell me your a parrot owner without telling me your a parrot owner, lol daddy humans shirt lol

[@cch1586]

It is Mikey's design style 😄 It really reminds me of Kanye West's designs😄 It's too cute and funny! 🤩

[@user-ci2kj2rk6d]

One question you didn't cover. How much is it to hire Dan please 🙈maybe Dan and you if 2 people are needed pls 🙈

[@MikeyTheMacaw]

Haha covered at 32:35 lol. As much as we would love to help we aren’t for hire haha. Far too busy with life

[@nirvanamadpaul]

Poor pheasant ..... Was only after some breakfast.. (please leave him an accessible bowl of mikey and mia mix)

[@MikeyTheMacaw]

Haha I know. We will miss him

[@handyreiter1310]

Thank you for putting this together, this is such important information!! I will most probably also install it at some point! TYSM ❤🦢🦆🦉🦅🦅🐦🦃🦜🐓🪿🐣💚

[@MikeyTheMacaw]

Thanks so much. Glad you enjoyed it and found it helpful.
