HOW TO BUILD A BREEDING CAGE - PART TWO
BUILDING AN ENGLISH-STYLE, BOX-TYPE, DOUBLE-BREEDING CAGE
STEP-BY-STEP PHOTOGRAPHIC INSTRUCTIONS
Article and all photographs by Don Perez
The framed, punch-bar cage fronts used in the final assembly of these English-style, box-type, breeding cages are shown in Part One of this two-part articles site.
Just click on the thumbnails below to view the full-sized photos which also contain text guidelines to assist you in building your own double-breeder, boxed cage. When finished viewing and/or printing, click the back button on your browser bar to come back to this page.
Prior to placing the framed fronts in place, it is recommended that you run a bead of white silicon caulking all along the inside joined areas of each finished unit to seal them and prevent any open areas for mites to congregate. Allow this to dry for 24 hours and also so that any toxic fumes may dissipate.
Metal, punch-bar canary cage fronts are available by writing Mr. Ernest Cobb in Calgary, Canada at: erniecobb@shaw.ca or calling him at: 403-279-0393. Ernie also has many other birdroom appliances including his very own already famous, textured, durable "Twist Fit" perches and the "best-of-the-best" show cages anywhere!

The following five thumbnails will open to some huge files, so patience is indeed the order of the day when opening them! They show what a double-breeder would look like if built using some durable, stainless-steel, welded fronts. These stainless-steel fronts and many other fine products are available from my good friends at Orchid Tree Exotics: www.orchidtreeexotics.net
I hope that this two-part article will help you build your own functional, English-Style, box-type, canary breeding cages. I have found them to be most useful in allowing the occupants their privacy as well as providing easy maintenance in the birdroom. Simply remove the occupants, remove the framed, cage fronts and free access to the interior for easy, thorough cleaning and disinfecting. Doesn't get any easier then that! All the best in your cage-building adventures! I'm almost sure your birds will appreciate your efforts!
