We have done the rest of the meshing for the open air popout suspended section today. Now ...to do list.... 1. fill gaps in concrete between slab and colourbond metal. 2. Fill any sharp edges and smaller gaps with gap filler. 3. Fit hatch door for access to outside fence. 4. Fit front wall and windows, and mesh the front window. 5. Make another hinged perch section for the front flight. 6. Clean wire. 7. Add feeders 8. Add birds. Link to comment

Congrats. Liv is headed back your way? Yes Liv is coming for another visit in a few weeks Here is one of my new perching arrangements in the aviary....to save birds heading straight for the windows I arranged three perches ( two done one to go ) over each of the windows. I used the brackets for hanging curtain rods, attached them and drilled perches onto them so if the birds fly at the window they have somewhere to land and somewhere to be feeling the breezes through the windows too. Curtain rod brackets are good for things like attaching perches. Link to comment

If it werent for the deaths of my father and father in law over the past fortnight or so, I am sure I would be ecstatic But its taken the edge off it a bit.
