We have small indoor aviaries in our bird room and I've recently been thinking since the room is dedicated to the birds already why shouldn't I just give them the whole thing as a room aviary?
The problem is that there is rats, according to other family members there has always been a rat problem on and off. They get rid of the rats but we live very rurally where rats that live outside are common, so since they can get in somewhere they will just keep getting in. I'd leave traps up in non bird accessible areas all the time but the problem is what if the rats got to my birds first?
How dangerous are rats to birds? I know germs and disease makes them dangerous but what about the rats actually hunting and killing my birds?
