What's in store for today : It never gets to 100 here :(

Today
Partly sunny. Isolated showers and thunderstorms late in the afternoon. Some thunderstorms may produce damaging winds. Highs 96 to 100. West winds 5 to 10 mph becoming 10 to 15 mph later in the afternoon. Chance of rain 20 percent. Maximum heat index readings 105 to 110.
 
You be careful during those storms Mark. It's very humid here too!
It seems to me that we can't just get a little rain shower, it always seems to be damaging storms! I mean I love to watch lightning but a plain old rain shower would be nice for a change!
cam-If you had to spray paint a bird cage what paint would you use if any? I bought two flight cages for $25 and they both have touches of rust on them. What can I use? Both cages are pretty nice except for that.
 
Believe it or not cam, i've already joined four bird forums.lol I was trying to get well prepared for a bird.
I seem to get conflicting information. Some say only use spray paint safe for children and some say don't do it at all. I was hoping since you seem to be a diy guy that you would know. Thanks though!
 
Well I wanted one but when I got there to pick it up the lady gave me the other. So I guess I will use the other for a spare.
I'm going to put a parrotlet in there!!! (hopefully)
 
ahh, im never gunna fall asleep now ky, thanks a lot! (kidding :D)

sigh, remove all the original paint and buy a child safe paint and primer. be sure not to get rust fighting paint tho. if you want my real recommendation, scrap the rusty cage and get shiny new one, a parrotlet will do lots of climbing and some of the paint will eventually chip off

Sorry cam.

My darling hubby is gonna build me a cage. Kinda like a small aviary. He just has to find the time to do it. I was gonna use this one for the porch. I did find this

The cage is powder coated. So I don't think I can get all that off. I'm thinking maybe I can just do touch ups on it and it will be okay.
The black cage has less rust spots but it has a hole in it for a breeder box. I might just end up finding a way to close it up and use it. I've read a nest of any kind with a single bird is a no-no.
I do appreciate your help!!:)


Where is everybody????:confused:
 
Some of us are at work :) Man oh man , yesterday we were setting all kinds of heat records over here. It did get to 100 here in Ft Lauderdale. We never get to 100 because of the so called sea breeze. Well today woke up to what looked like a tropical depression , it was dark out when I left for work at 8 am and boy did it rain hard. It cleared up for most the rest of the day and then around 4 we got another monster line that looked like a tropical storm , Man !!!!!! At least it wasn't hot today :)
