You will need

• metal profile, mesh, chipboard, galvanized sheet, corners, screws

Instructions

1

Given the size of the bird that will live in a cage, determine the dimensions of her home. Calculate the amount of material.

2

Make a frame. They will serve as a cage for the cage, and a net will be attached to them. The frames are made of four blanks of metal profile, the length of which is determined by the dimensions of the cell.

3

Cut the side sections of the metal profile at the two side blanks and bend the remaining longitudinal part 90 degrees. This is necessary in order to secure the lower and upper workpieces.

4

Assemble the frame. Connect the workpieces with self-tapping screws, screwing them into the supports of the side workpieces.

5

Cut off the desired number of mesh. Make grid measurements on the frame, marking the locations of the grid wires.

6

Disassemble the frame and make holes on themarked places. The diameter of the hole should be similar to the diameter of the wire from which the mesh is made. Next, the frame is assembled using a grid, the wires of which are dragged into the manufactured holes.

7

Fold the grid wires sticking outward, therebysecurely fixing the mesh and giving the structure rigidity. The number of such frames is five. One frame will act as the front wall, the other - the back. One frame is needed for the top of the cage and two frames on the sides.

8

From the finished frames, make a frame. To join the frame follows the corners with the help of self-tapping screws.

9

Make the base of the cage. For this purpose, the chipboard is perfect. We cut the workpieces of the required size. We fix the corners and screws.

10

In order to easily support the cellclean, make a sliding tray. As a material, a galvanized sheet is suitable. From the metal profile we make a frame, attach a galvanized sheet on it and the pallet is ready.

11

An important element of the cell is the door. Therefore, we cut out a part of the grid from the front, and we cut off the sharp ends with a file. The door size should not be too large, as the mesh can be deformed. The lock for the door is not difficult to think up on your own.

12

Place in the cage perches, a drinking bowl, a trough and other necessary items for your pet. The cage is ready to receive the master.

You will need

• - branches of different length and diameter;
• - wooden slats and bars;
• - a piece of plywood, a board or a wooden pallet;
• - toys, mirrors, swings, stairs;
• - Drill;
• - fountain drills

Instructions

1

Playground for the parrot you can buyin a pet store or make yourself out of improvised materials. Homemade entertainment center for birds can be a real gaming complex, which includes a variety of loopholes, perches and toys. Although even the most common branch with various ramifications will be an excellent playground for the parrot.

2

To make a playground for a parrotindependently, first of all, think about what it will be, what materials will be needed for its production. Be sure to draw a sketch of the playground you invented on paper.

3

Now, prepare all the necessarydetails that will be included in the design of the gaming complex. Wooden slats and bars you can buy at the building store. For branches of the required length and thickness, go to the forest or park nearest to your house.

4

Of the thickest branches of the same diameterassemble the frame of the playground. To drill holes, use a drill with feather drills of different diameters. As perches use the wooden racks or tree branches purchased in the store. The diameter of the perches should be half the diameter of the pillars entering the structure.

5

Now attach the resulting design to theboard or plywood. It is better to use as a stand for the playground a shallow wooden pallet, which can be covered with paper. This will make cleaning after the parrot quick and easy.

6

Now attach to the resulting playgroundfor the parrot a variety of toys, safe mirrors and swings, install small stairs. Remember that the playground must be stable and sturdy.

7

Refuse to place on the playground for the parrot feeder. The bird should be fed exclusively in the cage. So it will be easier to drive a hungry pet into a cage.

Instructions

1

The shuttle is a very sensitive shell, and its characteristics are measured with the pharmacist precision. A change in weight of only 0.1 gram increases the flight range by half a meter.

2

There are two types of volans: plastic and feather. The feathers are very sensitive, they have a higher flight speed and a steep downward trajectory. Playing feather flounces requires a high strength of wrist movement. Therefore, they, first of all, are intended for professionals and high-class players. All competitions are played only by feathers.

3

A characteristic feature of feather flounces is theirfragility. During the game, professionals can spoil two or three packs. Often in order to change the speed of the projectile, players break or fold feathers. Therefore, as a result, the game with these shuttlecocks costs a decent amount of money.

4

The weight of the feather is about 5 grams. Make such shuttlecocks from goose feathers. They should be exactly 16. The head of the shuttle should be of a high quality cork, it is covered with a thin natural leather. Feathers are glued along the circumference of the head and tied with threads. Threads must also be glued.

5

The tips of the feathers can have different shapes. Rounded feathers make the descent of the shuttle more flat, and the flight far. This means that the player has more chances to send the projectile out. Shuttlecocks with sharp tips of the plumage fly faster, the trajectory of the descent is more steep.

6

Near the lid on the tuba there are numbers indicating the speed of the shuttle. Yonex, the largest manufacturer of badminton inventory, uses numbers from 1 to 5. The higher the figure, the higher the speed.

7

Do not be surprised to see on the package the figures from 75 to79. So other serious producers rate the speed. This index is simply equal to the weight of a shuttlecock in English faces. The heavier the shuttlecock, the faster it flies.

8

Sometimes on the package weight is denoted in metricunits from 4.74 to 5.05 grams. Often on tubes with high-quality feather flounces indicate the temperature conditions for their application. This is not surprising, because the pen is a natural material, and at different temperatures and humidity will behave differently.

9

The company Yonex additionally denotes the qualityproducts in the title of the series. For example, the Aerosensa series has indexes from 10 to 50 in the title. The higher the index, the more high-quality shell in front of you.

10

Occasionally in the market there are flounces, in the serieswhich index begins with 0, for example, Aerosensa 05. In this series the head is made of an artificial or combined cork. And do not goose feathers goose feathers, and feather ducks czaga. These shuttlecocks are of high enough quality, but are much cheaper, which makes them suitable for amateur games.

11

Plastic flounces are more suitable for fans. They have a more predictable flight path, lower speed, and processing such a shuttle does not require considerable effort when working with a brush. Do not forget, it is wrist injury - the most common damage in novice players.

12

Plastic flounces are more expensive than feathers, but they last much longer, so the cost is cheaper. The main thing is do not wrinkle them in your hand during the game, so as not to deform the skirt.

13

The speed of plastic flounces is denoted by colortape around the head. Green color - slow, blue color means medium speed shuttle and red - fast. The same color should be the cover of the package. Yonex also produces flounces with a light green strip - very slow. They should play better for beginners in the first classes, when the technique of impact is only set.

14

Shuttlefish can be white and yellow. Yellow shuttlecocks are more convenient to play under low light and at high speeds.

You will need

• - thick colored paper;
• - thin colored paper with an adhesive layer;
• - napkins;
• - old newspapers;
• - PVA glue;
• - scissors;
• - knife;
• - A picture of a parrot or a toy.

Instructions

1

Look at the picture of the parrot. You will see that the figure consists of several parts. The parrot has a round head, an elongated body, a long tail and large wings. A characteristic detail is a large beak crochet. To make a parrot of paper in the papier-mache technique, you need to first mold an egg, a ball and a high cone from plasticine. Cone shape the nose.

2

Cover each form with a layer of paper napkins. On top glue with PVA glue several layers of finely torn newsprint. Allow the preforms to dry, then cut them and pull out the clay. Seam the seams. Connect the parts together.

3

Okleyte parrot paper of different colors. You can also paint it with a water-based emulsion, on top of which you put a layer of gouache. Do not cover the toy with a varnish yet, otherwise it will be difficult to glue the tail and wings. The tail is two long triangles cut from dense colored paper. Each wing is an obtuse isosceles triangle with a very large base. Since the wings are located the wrong side to the body, it is absolutely the same, from two-sided paper you make them or from one-sided. Suitable, for example, a bright glossy paper with an adhesive layer.

4

Think about what to make a parrot paw. They can simply be painted or pasted in the technique of application. After all the details are in place, finish the design of the figure. Draw or glue your eyes and nostrils. Cover your creation with a varnish, if necessary attaching an eyelet to your head.

5

It will be very interesting to look a parrot from mintthin paper (for example, floral or corrugated paper). Lightly glue a piece of such paper with glue. It should not get wet, glue only fixes the shape that you give. Crumble the sheet to get a paper "testicle". From a sheet of another color, in the same way, make a ball. Fix the parts with a drop of glue.

6

The nose of such a parrot is best cut fromfolded in half piece of black or brown cardboard. However, a toy parrot has a beak which can be anything. Stick the nostrils - two small ovals. Glue the beak to the ball.

7

Wings and tail are made exactly the same as in the previous case, only paper is better to take thin. You can cut the wings with a "comb" or cut the edges with figured scissors.
