[BenjaminG]

Ok so i would like to make a natural like outdoor cage for the birds come spring....od like to do it myself.....anyone got any helpful hints? It will be for a macaw. Id like to make it as natural as possible. Trees and plants and all that. It cant be enormous but id still like to make it as natural as possible.

I'm not sure what type of tips you're looking for but here are some general ones:

Make sure the enclosure is safe (three layers of protection: to keep your macaw inside, insects out, and rodents out)

The materials are parrot safe (metals, paint, etc)

You're able to keep it clean

If they are going to be in contact with soil make sure there aren't insects that could harm your macaw


Plants:

If you're able to grow some parrot safe trees and plants

Here's a link with some safe trees and plants:
