Asking this for a girlfriend....She is just setting up a small 2m (width) X 2m (depth) walk in aviary. I have been helping with perches, flooring, feed dishes etc. but she was wondering how many birds could she house comfortably in an aviary this size. I thought 15 - 20 but promised I would ask the experts! Thanks for any advice you could share. Link to comment

Would be okay if they aren't breeding. :ausb: Link to comment

This aviary is looking great, she has landscaped it with Aussie native grasses, an old bird bath with small rocks in it so it's not too deep, and she has even bought a small gum tree that she plans to bonsai in it's pot to keep it's size under control (if the birds don't eat it!). The aviary is looking like something out of the Aussie bush! Link to comment
Guest esta Posted October 23, 2006 Share Posted October 23, 2006 Post some photos when you are finished. It sounds lovely. I am thinking of something similar for my garden. Link to comment

It sounds lovely. I am thinking of something similar for my garden. This is not my aviary but will share some photos if I can remember to take my camera when I go to visit! She told me on the phone last night that she found an old pump in the shed so has rigged that up so there is now a small bubbling fountain in the bird bath - when she gets her birds they will be so spoilt!
