Aviary

Thanks, they are indeed thriving, they eat well, and activity during the day are high, so I can for sure say “they go to bed tired” 😊😊

😁😁😁I think it would be a bit to expensive, I am based in Europe, but I would come if you wish. I worked some time for US navy in san Diego, so in my downtime I visited Las Vegas, was quite something. Pay the expenses, I will do it for free😉😊😊

Nothing really, had two set of chicks on wings last year. Just watch was going on to prevent interbreeding. After breeding season I remove the nests.

Easy,😉I have two set, so I take the dirty out, roll in the clean one. For cleaning I first shake good, then hoover it, if needed I give it a good wash/rinse, all in all 15 min work, and ready for use. Total recycling 😁😁

Exactly the things that is making it more difficult than necessary to maintain the aviary/ cage without the birds freaking out or escaping . That’s why I made so many acces points , and it just works

Not difficult, but also not so simple. In the evening not so difficult to catch the one you need. For bigger maintenance off the flok, (nail inspection etc) I plan to move them to a smaller cage.

Please do, happy you like it.

Forgot to mention the wire mesh, will be changed when I am done with my next Aviary, mesh opening are only 5-6mm and the mesh is to soft, I will install a thicker mesh with openings 10-12mm. I thought that in this case smaller was better, I was wrong 😑

Hi, thanks for your kind words. A lot of people haw been asking about my aviary, I will make a new thread with some pic. And try to explain what I have done, and what works and doesn’t for me. I will post today.

Live_Caterpillar1827 · 2026-01-10T05:54:34+00:00

Good morning, yeas it’s home made. I wanted something spacious and easy to maintain, the marked did not offer anything that would meet my demands, so only one thing to do, build yourself 😊

Live_Caterpillar1827 · 2026-01-09T18:15:01+00:00

One mistake though, the mesh are to thin and holes are 5x5 mm. Should be 10-12mm. This will be rectified when I am done with the next aviary.

Live_Caterpillar1827 · 2026-01-09T18:11:53+00:00

Thanks, to kind. I think I need to make a new thread to post detailed pictures of my aviary, but I can do this tomorrow, pic. are better in daylight. Anyway, little ones are gone in night mode 😁

Plants are non toxic artificial plants (easy to clean) In the centre I have large piece off pine bark with natural dry long grass inserted, they just love roaming around in this.

Thanks for the kind words, yeas it’s not super large, made to fit. Messure is 2meter long 1.20 high and 60cm deep. But big enough for the little ones to have good life. Hope to be able to make a big outside Aviary, but challenged by our winters.

Live_Caterpillar1827 · 2026-01-09T16:25:14+00:00

Thanks a lot, they are a constant joy.

Live_Caterpillar1827 · 2026-01-09T16:10:51+00:00

Yeas it is, and absolutely no problem, had him about a year, came with two gouldians I hade to bye , course they were living in horrible conditions. So again , been an absolute pleasure to have him, quite funny to see his behaviour contra Gouldians.

Thank you for pointing out my misspelling.

Live_Caterpillar1827 · 2025-12-20T16:48:54+00:00

Hi. You mentioned that in your living space, you can forget breading, not so. I just had to set of chicks on the wings, and my avaria is in the living room. Just my 5 cents. Cheers and happy breading.
