ideas for toys and decor for outdoor aviary/cage?
so i just got this outdoor aviary/cage for my eclectus, squawk. fyi, i will never leave him unattended in there. its not a new home for him for the summer, its just for us to hangout in there when the weather is warm. it’s not a huge space so i need to think smartly here
so! i want it to be comfortable for me to chill out in, as well as fun for my birdy. i got this playstand for free the other week, a bit rusty but im gonna clean it and use rustoleum and all that, tips for that as well? also not sure how weather proof it would be.
we will be putting a cover/tarp over the top.
i’ve always wanted one of those huge tree/branch perches for him (last picture) but they’re incredibly expensive, so possibly i want to diy? but it’s gonna be hard work to make it safe.
i want some lights, like fairy lights or something but don’t want birdy to be able to chew on them.
im also worried about mosquitoes and such because i know i can’t use bug spray. ive seen these big outdoor fly zappers, do you think that could work if i put a few outside the cage?
im not really able to do concrete, so my plan is to dig a level pit, use steel wire mesh or something for a layer, then use stone or concrete pavers.
just looking for tips or ideas for me and my bird to make it chill but fun and safe!!
