fireman 11,412 Posted April 27, 2015 Report Share Posted April 27, 2015 Cracking that is mate ,i'd maybe cover half the roof so they can get outside on a wet day and still be dry type thing and get that wire painted black and your'll see through it so much better,in fact it almost dissapears when you do,but like i say cracking job and the very best of luck with the birds...

pappabear 128 Posted April 27, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 27, 2015 Thanks guys it's taken a while as tried to make it as rodent proof as possible as I lost all my red factor canaries to rats , I have tiled the walls of the shed about 18" high and the shed has a concrete slab floor next is to insulate it and cover the inside with tongue and groove , thanks for your tips fireman I do have some clear perspex so that will be going on next , what type of black paint do you recommend . 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Navek Posted April 27, 2015 Report Share Posted April 27, 2015 Black gloss is best...put it on with a small fluffy roller.... The diffrence is amazing. When I painted mine the other half asked me "won't they fly away with nothing on the front " ....women ay lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites
fireman 11,412 Posted April 27, 2015 Report Share Posted April 27, 2015 Have seen some done with matt black and they look just as good but any out door proof paint will do and deffo use a roller 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
