if I were to make my own stainless steel cage what would I have to look out for?

..well, obviously I'm not gonna make it with my own bare hands..I'll find someone to do it for me;-) I just want to be sure what to look out for since I haven't done it before. I want my cage to be able to "fold" just as to fit through every door (if I ever want to move). Also I want it to be on wheels. Wider more than taller because I notice birds perch on the upper perches more than on the lowers so there is no need for a tall cage. There are a lot more i want but it is not so important for the cage on its own (closed cabinet for some toys and other Zaks things under the cage..). Any thoughts, advices?:-)

Clever Grey proof door closures on entry and feed doors. Easy to clean pull out tray underneath cage and an entry door large enough to place good sized branches and toys inside with out difficulty. Greyt idea by the way.

Thanks. I haven't really thought about escaping issues because I have a lock on every door and Zak never escaped (because I put the locks everywhere) so thanks! Already thought about the tray. As food goes I would love to have a freedom buffet feature but I'm not sure how would I make it. Especially the plastic thingies. Any clue about that? Thought of the big door. This is a problem right now so that was my first idea but good ideas are always welcome so thank you! :-)

 

I'm actually asking more about the folding feature. How can I fold sides but not have a safety issues-toe nails stuck in the hinges, or feathers...things like that..?
