    New house, new aviary for our birds

    We are moving into a new house in about 6 weeks and we found one with a perfect aviary space already on place. The former owners used it as a greenhouse so it should be comfortable temps year round. There are screened windows in 3 panels for air flow. During extreme weather we can bring them...

    Possible aviary inhabitants

    I’m not sure if this is the correct place to post this, but I’ve been thinking about turning one of my sheds into an aviary, I don’t have measurements but it’s atleast twice as long as my master bedroom. (I know that probably doesn’t help much) but it is fairly large. I currently have 4 budgies...

    Moving birds to aviary?

    So I have 4 Budgies and 2 cockatiels, they’ve lived inside all of their lives for the most part. I’m thinking about moving them to a aviary, nothing too big or fancy, I was just wondering how could I make the transition to an aviary for the bird? The birds aren’t really tame, and are rather...

    Indoor Aviary help!

    Hi! So I’m getting a bird (Quaker parrot) and wanted to make an indoor aviary for the space. I’ve found the mesh and the wood. I’m new to this whole thing so don’t make fun of me but what else do I need for the aviary? I’m great with wood working and have all the tools I need. Another question...

    Is chain link strong enough for a macaw?

    @Macawnutz @aooratrix @Hankmacaw @JLcribber, and anyone else with insight: Do you think that stainless chain link would be strong enough to withstand the mighty beak of Taco? I've been looking at dog runs and chicken coops as possible replacements for his cage, since they're large and sturdy...

    Stunning Ringneck

    Stopped for lunch at Caldermeade Farm and noticed for the first time that they had an aviary with a green and yellow budgie as well as this stunning IRN. Anyone know what this colour of IRN is typically called? I've never seen one with this colour and was stunned with the smokey grey and purple...

    Proper cage size for 3-4 cockatiels? Aviary ideas?

    This is turned out to be such a wall of text, there's TLDR at the bottom. I have had my two (male) cockatiels for about a year now and everything has been going swell! They are still fairly cautious about humans and hands, but nothing compared to the fear when I first brought them home. Not...

    Pictures Anyone have opinions on A&E aviaries?

    I've been on the hunt for a big, beautiful new cage for Taco since I brought him home in May, and I just happened across a walk-in aviary on Kijiji for 40% off the retail price in great condition. It's 62"×62"×79" with inch-wide bar spacing, and I'm allllll over the idea of Taco having such a...

    Carport Aviary

    Hello everyone, I've been looking into all sorts of aviaries recently, from ones made specifically for parrots to DIY ones to greenhouses with screen. I was thinking about mostly frames because stainless steel wiring with good spacing isn't crazy hard to find but frames seem difficult to work...

    Cages/Aviaries for Lorikeets

    What is the ideal housing for a Lorikeet? I'm looking at a cage which is 140cm high, 60cm deep, 95cm wide. Will my Lori be happy in there? He'll get flying time inside every day.

    Best Parrot species to live in planted outdoor aviary?

    I'm thinking of building an outdoor aviary with plants and maybe a shallow water feature (filtered, not deep enough to drown, parrot safe). It would be approximately 24×10ft×10ft(unsure about height) and I'm going to choose safe plants/shrubs, of course. There are going to be multiple feeding...

    Any suggestions on aviary acclimation? Cockatoo hates his aviary.

    I've built a beautiful aviary for Corey, my rescued bare-eyed cockatoo. It's stuffed full of wood and corks and toys and ropes and branches and puzzles and other fun things. It's screened from any scary sights. Right now, the weather is gorgeous. As we will be undergoing a kitchen remodelling...
