How To Build A Bird Aviary Setup, part 3, The Roof And Mesh

[@artie9403]

I can't believe you built the whole aviary using hand tools .... and no shoes! If I ever come to see it I'm bringing you sneakers. You did a great job!!

Thanks, barefoot rules

Beautiful aviary in an awkward space, and that metal paint on the mesh is a great idea!

[@MrAviary]

Thanks

[@jecriggs]

Great tip using that board to keep the welded wire taut, making it easier to install. It's looking good!

[@MrAviary]

Thanks, makes it a lot easier.

[@tadekonthemove226]

Looks great man! cant wait to see it again

[@MysoreStudio]

Waw you are fantastic bro👍

[@MrAviary]

Thanks, will post more videos so stay tuned.

[@beanerschnitzel794]

Oh that looks great! With your teaching video, I think I’m gonna do it! Thank you 🙏

[@MrAviary]

Thanks, think it will turn out great.

[@nezzols]

It look so good

[@MrAviary]

Thanks

[@joris0283]

seeing this video makes me want to build an aviary again... Painting the mesh is a game changer, I didn't know this tric... What paint did you use?

[@MrAviary]

Metal paint

Hi, I want to ask what had you done to prevent the wood from rain damage?? I just purchased a small wood aviary. Since it is made out of wood, I am afraid the wood material will band or deformed after rain in April ~June, and in fall, and snow in winter. I checked some information online, but the water proof spray seems not always good as it should be.....

[@MrAviary]

I bought impregnated wood which was completely submerged in this stuff, last very long maybe after 10 years I have to replace the bottom ones but the rest last very long. You can even put an extra layer of water resistant stain (also gives your aviary a nice color). However, it is still wood so it will always deform a little, I just made sure there is room for it to deform. Hope this helps. Which birds are you going to put in your aviary?

[@robynmartin2026]

looks fantastic, thank you for sharing, love the use of big pavers for the base. Just wondered, is your framing treated, I presume not, but it does look a bit green....? Maybe it gets painted later....I should watch more...

[@MrAviary]

The wood is treated that's why it is a little greenish

[@jessy-w5e]

amazing!

[@MrAviary]

Thanks

[@robinlewisart_1997]

Awesome work what type of plastic is that called for the roof

[@MrAviary]

corrugated roofing

[@melissamcnamara5790]

Can you paint a pigeon aviary with the metal paint as just getting one built at the moment? . . This look's fab!

[@MrAviary]

Yes you can, finches and pigeons will, unlike for example parrots, not chew on the mesh.

[@quinndelprete8007]

Where do you order the wire mesh net from

[@MrAviary]

From a local metal shop

[@adamstv4025]

What was the paint called? And where did you buy it from? And how much?

[@MrAviary]

It is metallic paint hammerite. It is from a home improvement center. Only use it with birds that dont chew on the mesh. I used more than 1L. You need a lot.

[@adamstv4025]

Mr. Aviary can I use it for parakeets and cockatiels?

[@MrAviary]

If you want to be completely safe, I wouldn't recommend it. Because parakeets and cockatiels use their beaks to climb and chew on the mesh. Therefore they may take in small quantities of the paint, which is not completely toxin free.

[@hannahs.481]

Beautiful aviary! What kind of wire did you use? Was it galvanized? I'm just wondering because I really want to build one for my budgies ❤️

[@worawitrang1685]

Excuse me sir, Why do you make double layer on the roof? I can’t understand what you mention in the clip

[@MrAviary]

This makes it more difficult for cats to snatch birds trough the mesh

[@worawitrang1685]

@@MrAviary thanks

[@mazk677]

Hi can I ask what type of mesh is that?

[@MrAviary]

12mm mesh the smallest there is

[@juanfvielma3543]

Mr. Aviary we’re do you get it from in sheets like that. Great job.

[@VoytenTechnologies]

[@MrAviary]

Thank you, new aviary coming soon

[@manuelurbina4026]

Hi where did you bought the net ?

[@MrAviary]

I think you mean the mesh? At a hardware store.

[@juanfvielma3543]

Mr. Aviary what thickness do you recommend for an adult macaw?

[@juanramonhernandez5346]

How much did it cost???

[@MrAviary]

Around 600 euros all together

[@ExeterRipper]

What’s the name of the tool used to cut the mesh please?

[@MrAviary]

wire-shears

[@Hadtotypesomething]

What is the mesh that you are using? I wish to build one for my ringnecks.. . Any suggestions? Also.. Great work

[@MrAviary]

I use 12mm mesh but for ringnecks, I recommend to use a much sturdier mesh.

[@Hadtotypesomething]

@@MrAviary stainless steel or any other material? Also.. Thank you for replying 😊

[@MrAviary]

@@Hadtotypesomething Yes stainless steel with a minimal thickness of 1.75 thickness

[@juanfvielma3543]

Mr. Aviary i heard galvanized is bad for macaws, is that true?

[@alexiscervantes5157]

What type of mesh did you use and how much did it end up costing for all the mesh? I'm looking into building my own aviary for my lovebirds and am just curious.

[@MrAviary]

I used 12,5x12,5 mesh 0,8 mm thickness. I bought a 25 meter roll but only used roughly 20m. For lovebirds I would use a little thicker mess 1,05 mm. The cost depends on the supplier and type of mesh but I paid around 80 euros

[@glenntimmons4203]

Isn't the paint toxic to the birds especially cockatiels

[@MrAviary]

For parrot and parakeet species I wouldn't recommend it

[@guglielmodicarlo4139]

wouldnt it be better to fix the wire mesh on the inside, rather than on the outside, so the birds will not chew the wood to much?

[@MrAviary]

For parrots and parakeets, yes. However, then it is very important to cover all the edges because they are very sharp.

[@bemmelphotographyherpetofa8316]

Wat voor verf gebruik jij eigenlijk voor het gaas? En bladert het opgeven moment niet af van het gaas? Mooi volière trouwens! Heb je zeer netjes en strak afgewerkt 👌🏻 Gr. Sjoerd

[@MrAviary]

Ik gebruik een zwarte metaallak. Tot nu toe bladert het niet af en anders werk je het weer een beetje bij.

[@bemmelphotographyherpetofa8316]

Mr. Aviary ja dat is ook weer zo idd. Ik ga het ook doen 👌🏻 thanks voor de inspiratie. Waar heb jij jouw zwarte metaallak vandaan?
