Feed Bin Turned Into Bird House

Feed Bin Turned Into Bird House GRAIN HANDLING Miscellaneous 30-3-16 Ron Ziegler, Los Alamos, Calif., made a birdhouse for his wife's 10 doves and cockatiels out of an old feed bin turned upside down. To add "windows" to the tank, he cut the sides out of the bin using a plasma torch and covered them with wire. In the winter, he covers the sides of the tank with plastic sheeting to break the wind. Ziegler made a pointed roof for the aviary using some old corrugated roofing. He also constructed a side entrance that has two doors to keep the birds from escaping. "I haven't lost a bird yet," he says. Contact: FARM SHOW Followup, Flying Z Ranch, Ron Ziegler, P.O.
