We are looking at building an aviary for an Amazon, for daytime use while we are at work.
How much space would she need? What sort of substrate do you recommend for bottom of the cage? And how do you clean it? Will I need a safety door?
My old cage was home made, kept in shelter of the verandah. This was 0.8m (to fit through doorway of enclosed verandah at old house) x 1.2 m x 2 m high, on wheels.
I am thinking 2m deep x 3m long x 2m high. Sheltered along back, 1.4m each side and on roof. Concrete slab floor.
Please comment on design.
Other thought was to get it made with a slideable division down the middle, so could get a second bird and seperate them if necessary or open up if they get along well.
I don't have another bird yet (my 5 yo baby died about a month ago).
