Your aviary details
Your estimate sits within the typical range.
Double-door safety entries stop birds escaping, and fine predator-proof mesh keeps snakes and cats out, both are worth it on anything beyond a basic cage. A washable concrete or paved floor makes cleaning far easier.
💰 Ways to save
- A DIY kit costs far less than a custom build if you are handy, but factor in your own time and tools.
- Level and clear the site yourself where you safely can, you are paying trade rates for any prep otherwise.
- Get a few quotes and ask what the base or slab adds, it is often a separate and underestimated cost.
