My friend needed help moving a piece of furniture that was purchased on craigslist. I must have been the only person who answered the phone because I know I would not be first choice. We pulled up to the apartments and by the trash can was this beauty. I knew right away I had to have it.
Second step paint. I love birds outside but have never been a fan of caged birds. I will try to describe what I did. There was a metal wire sheet in the cage. I would guess that fit above the bottom of the cage. I took that wire sheet and zip tied it to the upper cage. I caught both the sheet and the walls in the zip ties for added support. It is so tall I wanted to create 2 levels.
Final Step: Plants. I went to Lowe's to purchase the plants. A very nice salesman was in charge of marking down plants. He was making the best of standing in 90 + sun and was having fun. Most of these plants were 50 cents. I spend under $10 for everything.
The plants were planted directly in the birdcage on the bottom. But for the top shelf I bought wire basket inserts from Dollartree. I put 2 on the top shelf and planted the plants in those.
I'm very happy with the outcome and have marked one project off.
The cage was free, plants under $10, liners cost $2, table was from the back yard.
