Trim was installed to dress up the aviary front. We used an L-shaped trim to frame the ventilation panels. A standard baseboard was installed along the bottom of the aviary. The same type of baseboard was mounted upside down to the top of the aviary and a piece of decorative trim was added above that. Along the side, some decorative mouldings were mounted. Tom used a nail gun to attach the trim to the aviary front.

Trim was also mounted inside the aviary along the corners to give the interior a finished look and to prevent aviary debris from becoming lodged in any cracks. A flat, simple piece of trim was used where the aviary walls met the aviary front. A cove-shaped piece of trim was used in the back two corners, where aviary wall met aviary wall. These trim pieces were painted to match the aviary and nailed to the 2x4 studs behind the aviary walls. Caulk was used to seal the seam between the aviary walls and the aviary floor.

When all the trim was installed, the aviary looked like this:
