My husband has just completed my new aviary!!! We live on a property that backs onto a nature reserve, so we were inspired to build a miners cottage to blend into the landscape. After searching the internet for inspiration, we commenced collecting recycled roofing iron, weatherboards, and hardwood. We were even able to get a porch deck and an old toilet door. (It helps when you're mates with a demolisher!!) But before we began, my husband had to level the ground. This picture was taken mid Sept 2008 (Its also handy when you work for excavation business!!): About a month later, we commenced on building the foundation posts: We worked so hard on the aviary I didn't take any further progress photos until today. The finished product!!! I even have a lovely shaded spot against the fence for my breeding boxes! And some pics of the inside: What do you think! Don't I have a wonderful husband! Link to comment

Great looking rustic Avery setting. My wife was born in Gippsland - she too is developing those rustic edges to her, so for me it put it all into perspective . Got to be proud of that! Makes mine look like the Tin Man from the wizard of Oz - go and congratulate him (and then ask for another one to be built along side it) Link to comment
