***DON'T USE LIQUID NAILS!***
That stuff is nasty. It contains benzene which is a carcinogen. Also, it takes a long time to cure, and until it is completely cured, the benzene and other chemicals will be out-gassing into your home. I would never consider using liquid nails where it could come in contact with living things. It's fine once it's fully cured and buried behind sheet rock.

I'll bet if you went to a cabinet shop with the dimensions for the front of the cage, you could find someone to make you a wood frame for a door with properly reinforced glued corners (with doweled or mortise-tenon joint). They could easily router a groove on the back side for your plate glass window, which you could secure with silicone adhesive. Then it's just a matter of adding a latch and hinges and mounting it.

You could just use silicone, or find another glue that is non-toxic. There are a lot out there that are safer than liquid nails.
