In this video, "DIY Aviary Build: Installing Gates and Mesh," I show you how I tackle the third stage of my small animal aviary project. From crafting homemade gates to securely installing aviary wire mesh, this step-by-step guide reveals how to create a safe, functional, and comfortable space for birds and other small animals.
Key highlights include: ✅ Installing gates and sluice doors for secure entry and exit. ✅ Choosing and attaching galvanized aviary wire mesh to prevent rust and ensure durability. ✅ Building lightweight DIY doors using leftover wood and brackets. ✅ Enhancing structural stability with polycarbonate sheets for extended roof coverage. ✅ Setting up the aviary interior with perches, ropes, and spaces for nesting.
I also share challenges faced during the build process, how I improvised for better results, and small updates like laying soil, sowing lawn, and creating a watering spot. Watch as the aviary transforms into a welcoming habitat for guinea pigs, rabbits, and birds, complete with cozy winter accommodations and even a first egg!
