The feeders you can get at Pet City in Wishhart. Or at your local Club. I submitted the application for permit. The council officer seems happy with it but needs a site inspection to make sure the facilities are up to regulations. This will be next week so I have to get the birds in the flights by then.

Well this afternoon the Council inspected my aviary and it looks like I have past the first test. The only alteration is to put a bag of seed in a plastic container, something I was going to do anyway. This is to stop the mice. Next is the building application. $$ The council office said he would help me where he could. I trust him. He has told me not to stop my progress and also discussed views of installing a water tank to assist cleaning. I have an orange light. I am still a long way from approved but I am a bit more relaxed now. Stress = 6. Link to comment

It is important to consider the impact on neighbours from the keeping of birds. Maintenance and cleaning to prevent odours is important as is minimising noise by not keeping roosters in residential areas or other noisy birds. Link to comment

An information sheet is available from the Customer Service Centre. Guess I should duck in soon and get the info sheet to learn more. Edited February 25, 2007 by Nerwen Link to comment

In the Pine Shire Council where I live, any structure in excess of 10 square meters must have a permit. Also if you live on a block of land under 2 hectairs (spl?) you can keep up to 20 birds with out a permit. My aviary is 13 square meters and I currently have 69 birds. so I need a permit for the birds and the aviary. Now an up date. The council came and inspected my aviary for the keeping of the birds. It looks like I have past. They want to have another talk to the neighbours but they aggree that the aviary is a proper place to keep my birds. If the building application is past, I can keep my birds and can increase to 90 birds. But I have to make sure that the aviary is kept up to scratch and the noise doesn't increase too much. I should know an out come by next Friday. Link to comment

The box tubing looks like it may be joined with connectors and such perhaps ? Might be a good thing to learn about....you are doing really well, having made all of this yourself :ausb: Link to comment
