4X4X4 Kestrel Mews

[senegal927]

Hey guys, well i finally built a mews. With the help of my sponsor. Its a 4X4X4 Mews for a kestrel. The reason i didn't build a larger one was because i couldn't. I live in a one bedroom apartment and i have a small patio.

The pictures dont do the mews justice, the camera is crappy.

Glad to see you got all of it worked out.

Great looking mews. I'd suggest covering the pvc perch with something like astro-turf. I hope your inspection goes well.

Yeah i need to get more astro though. I dont know what to tie it down with tho. Im thinking Zip Ties but couldn't that hurt the bird??? (being a sharp edge)

Put the tabs of the zipties on the very bottom of the perch. If it is a good diameter the bird wont be able to touch the sharp edges when it is perched. I cut the extra end as close as possible to the tab and then use a file to make it less sharp.

Electrical Tape has also worked for me
