DIY Armoire Aviary

The owner and creator of this armoire-turned-aviary didn't always keep such an elaborate home for her birds. Her zebra finches were previously confined to a small cage with hardly any room to fly. So, using an old wardrobe as a starting point, the creator added support and turned the wardrobe into a beautiful aviary for her feathered friends...

 
 

Documented on her blog "Empress of Creativity, ChinaMama began by reinforcing the armoire with vertical supports in each corner. Doors were added and even a drawer for easy cleanup. The outside walls were built of 1/4" mesh attached to the frame with staples, and inside the designer added a "reclaimed" eucalyptus tree branch for the birds to post on.
