We are still in the inital stages of building an outdoor aviary for my homing pigeons. (This would be great for an umbrella cockatoo as well!) I was given a wrought iron awning from a fellow Freecycler. I cut it apart with a angle grinder w/cutt off blade and transported it with my truck and trailer. I'm then welding back together with my acetylene torch. It still needs quite a bit of work. I plan to pour a concrete base, weld up a roofing frame, and cover the whole structure with wire. I plan to enclose a section for the birds so they can get out of the wind if needed. I also plan on making a double entrance door to prevent the birds from escaping. This wrought iron frame is super heavy duty. I can hang on it with no bending of the frame at all. Here are a few photos of my progress - Enjoy!
