Other Loft Done!


Finished the loft for the smaller aviary yesterday, got the wood last week for free. The last one took me four months, this one only took about four days lol. I completely replaced the small, all-wire aviary with this loft.

It has two openings in the front on top, half the front opens, the other half is a door, half the roof opens like shutters, and the side that gets the sun opens with shutters as well. Completely closes up tight and snug. Got a few pictures last night and I'll add some better ones when I charge the camera.

I'll also add a small aviary on the side.

Here are a few (the little aviary is blocking part of it but I just didn't have the energy to pull it out of the way!)

Great job MJ! You are pretty handy with a hammer! I bet your pijjies will be very cozy in their private cubbies. I like the tree in front.

Thanks! It is nice and roomy inside and they really love it. They immediately settled into their boxes and then during the day sit on the perches in the sun. And this one I used screws for, instead of hammering. Of course, hammering IS more satisfying, but the screws came free with the wood so. . . .

You are one talented carpenter! And I love your use of recycled materials. This looks like a cozy bird home, and I bet your pigeons really love it.

Very nice! I don't think I could build anything if I tried, lol.

Bet those birds think they're kings and queens, nesting in those shiny nest bowls!

Thanks everyone. Got the bowls from the Dollar Store, they are dog dishes hehe. And they wipe off very nicely.
