We got two new bird cages for outside but they don't come with a roof. So we make some ourselves! The roofs are made out of scrap wood except for the panels. I reckon you may have some panels lying around as well though.
The roof is a simple, 90 degree model. Start by making the legs for the frame. Cut one side at a 45 degree angle. You need 4 per roof.
A fancy connection is not required so just put pairs in a vice, drill a hole for the screw and screw the two parts together.
The result should look like this.
Add a few more pieces of scrap wood like in this photo and you got your frame.
Put the panels on. Don't worry if your frame is a bit wobbly. After the panels have been screwed on it will be completely steady.
Paint.
And place on top of the cage.
