How To Make A Large Double Birdcage With A Divider
Step 1: Choose a theme:
At first, you need to choose a theme that you want to decorate your birdcage. You can choose from many themes such as animals, nature, etc. For example, if you want to make a birdcage with animals, you can use an image of a cat, dog, rabbit, turtle, etc.
Step 2: Decide on the size:
After choosing a theme, you should decide on the size of your birdcage. The size depends on what kind of birds you will put into it. For example, if your bird is small, you can make a small birdcage. But if your bird is big, you need to make a large one.
Step 3: Measure the dimensions
The next step is measuring the dimensions of your birdcage so that you know exactly how much space you need to build it. To measure the length and width of your birdcage, you can use a tape measure. You can also use a ruler to measure the height.
Step 4: Cut the grill pan
Now cut the grill pan according to its measurements. First, mark the centre point of the bottom of the grill pan using a pencil. Then, draw two lines at an equal distance from the centre point. Finally, cut along these lines.
Step 5: Make a base
Next, you should make a base for your birdcage. This part is very important because, without a base, your birdcage cannot stand properly. So, start making a base by cutting a wooden plank to fit inside the grill pan. It should be made so that it fits perfectly. Also, make sure that the edges of the wood plank are smooth.
Step 6: Make a divider
To divide the space inside your birdcage, make a divider. Start by drilling holes through the middle of both sides of the wooden plank. Next, insert a screwdriver into the hole and push it all the way up until it hits the top edge of the wooden plank. Then, remove the screwdriver and tighten the screws tightly. Repeat this procedure for the other side.
Step 6: Attach the base
Attach the base to the bottom of the grill pan by drilling holes through both sides of the plank. Use screws to attach the base to the bottom. You should carefully check that there is no gap between the base and the bottom of the grill pans.
Step 7: Cover the base
Cover the base with wire mesh. You can buy this online or make it yourself. Just make sure that the wire mesh covers the entire base.
Step 8: Make the door
Make a door for your birdcage by cutting a piece of metal rod to the desired shape. If you don’t have any metal rods, you can use any other material like iron, brass, aluminium, etc.
Step 8: Install the door
After completing the door, you should install it in the front of the cage—drill holes on the backside of the door where you want them to go. Insert the hinges and then secure the door with screws.
Step 9: Make the roof
Cut a piece of metal rod and bend it to form the roof of your birdcage; however, before bending the metal rod, you should drill holes in it. After drilling, place the metal rod on the top of the cage and secure it with screws.
Step 10: Put the divider
After finishing everything, now you can add the divider. Place the divider on the floor of the cage and then secure it with screws. Now, you can fill the cage with food and water. Your birdcage is ready!
Step 10: Add decorations
If you want to decorate your birdcage, then you can put some colorful paper strips around the perimeter of the cage. You can also hang some toys on the wall of your birdcage. Otherwise, you can paint the walls of your birdcage with bright colours.
Step 11: Put your bird in the cage
Put your bird in the cage. You can choose any type of bird as per your choice. However, keep in mind that if you choose a large bird, then it will need more space than small birds.
How much time does it take to build one?
It depends on how many people work with you. The whole process takes about two to three hours, including the time taken to cut the materials.
Is there any possibility of spreading disease among the bird in a large birdcage?
No. The only thing that might cause diseases in the bird is the food that you feed them. Therefore, always ensure that the food that you give to your bird is healthy and nutritious.
How often should I need to clean a large bird cage? How do I clean it?
You should clean your birdcage every week. It’s very important because it helps to prevent bacteria from spreading in the birdcage. Cleaning your birdcage involves removing all the dirt and dust from its surface. You can use a vacuum cleaner to remove the dirt.
Do you need to provide bedding for the bird?
