How can I make below cage covering for my 2 birdcages?
How can I make a covering for my 2 bird cages to catch the seeds & cedar that the birds keep knocking out of the cage. I bought netting from the pet store but it doesn't work. I bought material, elastic and Velcro but don't know how to bring these 3 things together to make covering that will go below cage to catch all mess that I clean up several times a day. Please help me with some advise. Thank you

Hi Maureen, Here you go! I think this might help you! Apply this idea to your bird cages:

It would depend on how you have your birdcage mounted but I would think you could take a large platter or bowl, something similar to the catch tray under a plant, at least 2" wider in diameter than the bottom of the cage to make a catch. The either suspend from the bird cage bottom.

Maureen: can you attach an umbrella under them? That might look cute -- altho you'll have to cut the handle part down.
How big are the cages? Are they on a stand or are they suspended from a bird cage hanging type of support? If the cage is large they make trays to fit under a washing machine at Home Depot that catches water spills from washer that are white plastic you sit on the floor and sit cage it it.

I immediately thought of those large shallow bins they make specifically for hiding under beds for storage. You could drill holes in the side of it and tie it to the bottom of your bird cage.
Clear Plexiglas sheets attached to the side of the cage serve as a barrier to bits of food and water that they might fling onto the walls or drop on the floor. Purchase them at a hardware store and cut to fit the dimensions of the sides of the cage, or choose a custom cage protector from a bird product manufacturer. Secure each plastic sheet by using a single metal S-hook made of stainless steel that they could not possibly chew through or hurt themselves on. The hook slips over the horizontal bar that runs above the level of the feeding cup and the top of the Plexiglas sheet to secure it. The bottom of the Plexiglas piece rests snugly against the metal skirt that is attached along the base of the cage. The S-hook will keep the Plexiglass a short distance from the cage at an angle when it is propped against the base of the cage so the birds won't be able to chew at it. Most of the time it won't even get their attention. For underneath the bird cages to protect carpets/floors..... Hardware stores sell clear vinyl carpet protectors that come in thicknesses ranging from “low pile” to “heavy duty” carpet runners. The bottom is covered with small plastic grippers that gently dig into the carpet, resulting in a stable surface, which is easily swept or wiped clean. You might also try a plastic chair mat from an office supply store. Once a week, I roll the cage off the mats and take them outside to quickly hose off any sticky food or droppings. The mats can be hung over a rail, and they dry in a matter of minutes.
