Build Macaw Flight Cages

Macaws are large parrots that need a lot of room to stretch their wings, and adding a flight cage to your yard is the perfect solution. Building a flight cage may seem like a daunting task due to its sheer potential size, but rest assured it's a relatively easy and even fun, task. A wire mesh dog pen, for example, can be turned into an aviary perfect for your macaw.


Instructions


1. Assemble the dog kennel according to manufacturer instructions. Tighten all bolts and clamps used in assembly with your pliers.


2. Place assembled dog run on level ground.


3. Attach the kennel sun shade to the dog run using the plastic ties. Assemble according to manufacturer instructions. Ensure that all ties are tightly attached to cage. Double bind if necessary.


4. Wash down assembled dog run thoroughly using soap and water. Let air dry in the sun completely. Once the run is dry, place your bird's play gym, perches and toys in the newly constructed flight cage.
