Indoor aviary / bird room step by step

[alex2014]

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

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.

[alex2014]

Yes, there are 2 windows so a lot more natural light than they get now.

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.

This is SO exciting! Will be keeping my eye on this thread to watch as the indoor aviary continues to unfold.

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.

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.

It looks fantastic! Keep up the good work. Can I hire you to come to our house? Nancy

[alex2014]

Only if i can bring Alex and Rocco too.

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

[SRSeedBurners]

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.

This is so exciting!!! Can't wait to see more progress!

[alex2014]

Went to Lowes today and got all the paint and supplies. One step closer. Can't wait to see what she paints on the walls.

[alex2014]

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.

Looking great alex i wish i had the space to do this for nonsense. Maybe i could send her there for an holiday with alex and rocco, im sure she would love that

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.

This is looking/sounding great! I can not wait to see the painting that is done.
