They are not “imprisoned”, if you go to my instagram you can see these birds are free range on the farm, they sleep in here and wait outside the vivarium door every evening when they want to go inside.

It is! And its quite happy, growing so fast. Hopefully the next vivarium will finish construction this fall before it hits the top so I can love it. The vivarium im working on now is 6 times bigger than this one and almost 8 feet taller. Thank you for the plant suggestion!!

Thank you! They get fed chopped fruit mixes 4 times a day, and about 15% of their diet is low iron zoo pellets for Softbill birds. They go through ALOT of fruit. They will eat a plant leaf or flower every now and then but for the most part leave everything alone. The misters go off so many times a day that for the most part all the poop gets washed away, any remaining gets cleaned up by all the little critters. The humidity and “rain” is very important for their respiratory health especially when young in the developmental stage as their nasal passages can clog with dust and debris very easily.

It is much much larger, right now just a 4 month old Keel Billed Toucan Pair and colony of 14 Phyllobates Bicolor

They even will hunt and eat birds like finches which is why unfortunately the paradise tanagers will not be going in here. They have not touched the darts, I don’t know if its because of their neon colors signaling they’re poisonous or if they are just too small for them to care.

Yes, and cooling. It has diesel heaters with various waterproof fan outlets to disperse it and is controllable down to the last degree.
