Build a Finch Aviary

• 1). Decide on the size and design of your aviary. Depending on your space, this may vary from 4 feet to 8 feet tall and 2 feet to 6 feet wide.
  
  
• 2). Cut galvanized wire mesh to the desired size and fasten together to form a sturdy enclosure or attach to a wooden frame for a more attractive aviary. Leave room for doors and windows where food bowls can be inserted and a space for a pull-out tray in the bottom.
  
  
• 3). Attach wire mesh to the frame (optional) with a staple gun or use the wire mesh to cover the top of the aviary if not attached to a wooden frame.
  
  
• 4). Add a door and small windows for easy access to food and water dishes. Screen doors and windows are easy to purchase and install.
  
  
• 5). Add a pullout tray to the bottom if you choose. If the aviary is walk-in, this is not necessary.
  
  
• 6). Add perches and non-toxic plants to your aviary to make it more comfortable and inviting for your birds.
  
  
• 7). Add full-spectrum florescent lighting or a string of outdoor lights to enhance your aviary and the quality of life for your birds.
