My New Bird Room!

Oh that is so nice. They are very pricey but Amazon has the best prices most of the time.

Thanks Dianne! I think they were $11.13 each and I got 3. Can't beat that for some nice décor for the walls! I was looking at one that had branches and parrots on them. It was $45 just for the one panel if I included shipping cost. I figured I will have photos of my birds and my real birds. I didn't really have to have parrots on the decal! So I think this one was a great compromise! I should have them on Wednesday. I can't wait to put them up!

By the way, that link you gave me had some wonderful decals! Thanks for sharing it!

Here are the organizing bins I got for the birds. I love sharing each little tid bit with you guys, then the grand unveiling will come at the end when all is complete!

I have these cube racks set up in front of each window in the bird room. The top large bin holds 2 large pales with lids which I store pellets, nuts and nutriberries in. It is a great way to hide the buckets and make the room look a little nicer!





I had little storage bins made with each of the birds names on it. Yes, I'm splurging! LOL!






I moved Quincys cage into the bird room yesterday. It took me an hour! It barely fit through my doors and I had to take the door off the bird room to get it through. But at least I didn't have to take it apart! LOL!



I hope this inspires some of you and give you ideas on ways to organize your bird stuff!

I love the tree decals. I also think your idea on the storage bins is fantastic. You may find Coqui and Savannah just might help themselves once they discover whats inside I cant wait to see the end result

I got the trees yesterday and put one up last night. It looks fantastic! I think the bins are really nice, I do plan on putting treats in those bins, so I think you are right, once they discover what's in there, they probably will try to sneak over and steal a treat now and then! LOL!

How neat!

Once we get our house leveled, we're going to start working on the inside (after 10 years of not having any flooring down I'm ready). We're thinking of putting up unstained paneling in the bird room to keep the tiels from eating the sheetrock/paint. What is your thoughts on this? If it's not a good idea, what could we use to cover the sheetrock? We've already got to change out all the woodwork in the room due to their chewing. This, too, will be unpainted. We're going to go with a wood flooring laminate (I think) that should be easy to wipe clean every night. Keep in mind, these birds are cage free in this room. I'm also wanting to find something I can hang over the door to keep them in the room, but the door open. I don't mind them flying around the house, but the landing on the quaker's cages and Lucy's cage sets of alarm calls and hurt feet. Tex has lost a toenail by landing on Amber's cage (luckily it's growing back). Any ideas on what I could use?

I think the unstained panels would work well. You can even consider plexi glass over the walls. But that may be a bit pricey. Have you thought about even putting tiles up? Again, that may be pricey. Another option is to put shower curtains up around cages. Then you can take them down and wash them. But you obviously have a risk of them chewing them as well. I am putting up a shower curtain over the closet door in the bird room to keep it from getting a mess. Then I will take it down and clean in now and then. That may work for your door way, but it may not be long enough. Maybe some thick material to hang in your door way or a thick piece of vinyl. You can cut it in strips. Not sure if any of these will work. I will keep thinking about it and if I think of anything else, I will let you know!

I have Mina in an upstairs bedroom that is all hers due to the fact we have a Rottweiler with a very high prey drive. He is a supper sweety to us though. I have been considering redoing this room to make it more comfortable for the both of us because I spend a lot of my time in and out of there with her. Ok more time in lol. I love all these ideas. I too want to have the door open and put something on. Was considering brackets and sliding plexiglass down in the brackets on the outside of the door. This may work for you as well.

I had so much fun putting my bird room together! I'm sure you will, too! Be sure to share pics when you finally go for it!
