alex2014 Posted May 20, 2016 Share Posted May 20, 2016 Finally got started on the indoor aviary, work has been crazy so this might take awhile. Covering windows, i wanted to be able to open the windows but was worried about the birds escaping by tearing the screen so i installed some grating that i hinged to allow me to easily open the shades and windows in nice weather. Attached pictures are the mesh screens in improvise and installed. One window done one to go. Next steps: Cover the other window Paint the room and some murals Install a screen door Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greytness Posted May 21, 2016 Share Posted May 21, 2016 So fun! Will this room get a lot of natural light in for your baby? We're about to get started on our outdoor aviary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alex2014 Posted May 21, 2016 Author Share Posted May 21, 2016 Yes, there are 2 windows so a lot more natural light than they get now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRSeedBurners Posted May 21, 2016 Share Posted May 21, 2016 Love the metal grate idea. We're thinking the same thing after the last round of storms here knocked 'storm' windows completely out. I've even thought about a grate cage extending out from the window so they can get a little outside time while in their room if they want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inara Posted May 22, 2016 Share Posted May 22, 2016 This is SO exciting! Will be keeping my eye on this thread to watch as the indoor aviary continues to unfold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alex2014 Posted May 25, 2016 Author Share Posted May 25, 2016 Added the screen door today so i can open the main door during the day and close it at night to give them darkness to sleep and not be bothered by the lights and TV at night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlies Dad Posted May 26, 2016 Share Posted May 26, 2016 Love the metal grate idea. We're thinking the same thing after the last round of storms here knocked 'storm' windows completely out. I've even thought about a grate cage extending out from the window so they can get a little outside time while in their room if they want. I love the grate cage outside the window idea!! That would work so well with my "work in progress" bird room. The build is coming along great Alex, I wish I had carpentry skills like that.

kins2321@yahoo.com Posted May 26, 2016 Share Posted May 26, 2016 It looks fantastic! Keep up the good work. Can I hire you to come to our house? Nancy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alex2014 Posted June 13, 2016 Author Share Posted June 13, 2016 My artist finally came today and looked over the room. She said she will do clouds on the ceiling and trees on the walls. I'll go get the paint and she hopes she can do the work in about 2 weeks. I told her to just be creative and she likes that idea. Can't wait for this next step to be completed.. Then all that's left is to remove the carpet and put down some linoleum and hang some perches and toys. I also have 2 java trees to put in the room. My son still needs to sell his tanning bed so I can get it out of the room, anyone interested? LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRSeedBurners Posted June 14, 2016 Share Posted June 14, 2016 Throw that tanning bed on craigslist. There's always someone that wants what you have to sell. Can't wait to see pics of the paint job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alex2014 Posted July 21, 2016 Author Share Posted July 21, 2016 My artist started painting today, i'll post some pictures when it's done, hopefully in about a week as she can only work a few hours at a time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

katana600 Posted July 22, 2016 Share Posted July 22, 2016 Your work in progress looks wonderful. We don't have a bird room but have used a flooring from Home Depot called Allure. It is inexpensive, really easy to put down, looks good and is easy to keep clean. You are well on your way to creating a beautiful environment for happy birds in your home.
