Bird Rooms

[BirdMonkey]

Hi Im looking for Ideas for my Birds room, they have a large spare room dedicated to them since my cats have taken a liking to them. so now I must re- due my room. Im putting laminate flooring down ( carpet there now) and will be painting it with bird friendly paint. just wondering if people out here have a bird room and how they went about designing it ?

Welcome. I have no idea how to decorate a bird room but wish I could have spare room as a "bird room" Your birds are soo lucky (the cats did them a favour, haha) Then I could get more birdies LOL

I actually posted recently on my blog about my "birdroom" evolution, from hanging gyms above my birds' cages to their own actual room.

At this point, I couldn't paint the wall, still can't as I'm in an apartment and not for long term and I don't want to have to repaint everything white when we move. But when I'll have a house I might have some colour on the walls.

Hey Natacha, your birdroom set up is amazing. WOW!WOW! WOW! Congrats on providing such a happy, stimulating area for your birds, you are very creative and caring. Do the birds play on only their designated area or do they venture over to the others? Do you let them all out at once? Do they get on well? Also, what flooring do you have? P.S. Can me and my 4 come play at your place? May take a while to get there from Australia tho. Put the kettle on. LOL

They don't have designated play areas for each of them - they are free to move around.
They do come out at the same time - some pictures that aren't included there are of my current living room. They do come out there with us and a I have a few table stands / full size stands/trees as well as a few hanging ones. Enough for every bird to be on one and be alone.

While the birds aren't the best of friends, there is a certain equilibrium that allows them to be out together with not much fussing. I do keep an eye on them when out of course, but things are generally ok

I would put a screen door on the room to allow communication with the rest of the household while keeping the cat out.
