I found some glass panes from an old cupboard in the garage this summer, so I decided to get a glass cutter and try some DIY enclosures. I made two very simple and functional cubes and then I had a sudden surge of inspiration ad built this (pics). It's a bit sloppy in the siliconed areas, but considering it's my third ever enclosure - I'm quite proud of myself despite this .
Boasting aside, I wanted to get some opinions on the ventilation. I had an Avic in mind when building this (imagine the nest in the glass dome on the top - with some fake bromeliad spreading under it, a cork tube twisting its way at a slight angle all the way to the top... mmmm ) so I put in as many vent sheets as I could without compromising the structural stability of the thing (I reckon anyway). Now that I look at it though - I think it may need some more. The only thing made out of acrylic is the two doors that face each other, so I was thinking of drilling some holes into those.
What do you, Avic keepers, think? Or should I be thinking of a different species altogether?
Measurements: (metric! muhahaha...)
Height: 31,5 cm
Side to side: 25 cm
Corner to corner: 27 cm
