Welcome and be welcomed.
Noticed your home made cage has what is known as hardware cloth, a woven sheet of metal wires. If that is steel with a zinc coating on it, be aware that zinc is toxic to birds.

Hello, and welcome. Mabel is a beauty, and it sounds as though she has quite a good life. I am interested in seeing more of her custom cage!
As @wrench13 mentioned, if that is not stainless-steel wire mesh (It is hard to tell from a photo.), it could pose a hazard to Mabel. The dark areas at each intersection of mesh indicate that it would be "galvanized before welding" (GBW, versus GAW), if it is galvanized wire mesh. The plating will start to separate at those joints, over time, and she could ingest some, getting metal poisoning.
Here is a link explaining GBW, with a good photo.
Gavanized Before Weld (GBW) Welded Wire Mesh
GAW and GBW are used for referring two processing technology of Galvanized Welded Wire Mesh products.

Here is a photo of GAW (galvanized after weld), which is much safer:
Welcome! Mabel is adorable!
