    Much better now, I am sure.
    They look great with the "agapornis". My mother has one of this little parrots called Tuca :)

    Now I'm preparing one for the nursery: These gaudy cages for birds, repainted, become extraordinarily beautiful!
    Yours are really impressive :-)

    They're fabulous! The colouring is perfect. I've been looking at mine and thinking they will be kind of 'tricky' to paint, did you spray them with the base colour and then add others with a brush?

    Thank you very much!
    Norma, I didn´t spay first, but I should have, because its very difficult to paint inside the cages.
    I used black-glossy paint as a base but let the gold shine through a few places. Then I used a green and a brown acrylic paint and a gold permanent marker.
    Love, Susanne

    La bañera me parece una obra de arte, una gran antiguedad y un toque romantico con las rosas.

    I really can't believe it! You have a Indian Ringneck parakeet Susanne :):). And you have painted him a gorgeous home! Now maybe you can train him to tell fortune or better still, direct air traffic :).

    I have always loved birdcages. Yours are great improvement from the white versions that I have seen in shops here as well.

    Very beautiful birdcages, I think they definitely look so much better now you've painted them! And your work is inspirational :)

    Thanks!
    Sans, the bird is very clever, it really can tell the fortune. It just said that I will have a lot of minis!
    Love, Susanne
