Important information about aviary wire

Aviary wire should always be made of rust-free material, preferably stainless steel. Because coated wires can be nibbled off by the birds.

• The edges of the aviary wire must be smooth. Even a single wire can cause serious injuries. Always cut the wire so that a straight edge is created from which only the smallest pieces of the transverse wire protrude. ribbons Use a drill with a fan attachment (sandpaper malls) to level them with the final wire.
• The larger and stronger the resident of the aviary, the tighter the wire must be attached. Also think about the play instinct of parakeets and parakeets. Working intensively with the wire or its fasteners could lead to an unfortunate outcome for you.

Wire attachment options

• The easiest way to attach the aviary wire wood to fix it is to tackle it. In the case of parakeets or parrots, the wire should always be covered with a strip, because the birds manage to remove the needles and could injure themselves. If you cover with a strip of wood, watch to see if the birds nibble off the strip of wood that covers the aviary wire. Metal bars are safer.
• You can also fasten the wire with screws (possibly Use washers) screw it to the wood. Since even clever parrots do not use a screwdriver, a cover with a strip is not necessary, but check that the wire does not have any sharp edges. In this case, the edges must be smoothed particularly carefully.


Building instructions - bird aviary

Birds naturally want to fly. If you cannot do this, the wings often wither ...

• Experienced do-it-yourselfers can also mill a 1 cm deep and 2 mm wide groove in the frame and insert the wire into this. With larger birds you must also secure the wire with screws, otherwise they will bend it out again.
