    they have been there for bout 2 years as they used to be in an aviary but i cleaned it out as cabinets got ruined and made it into my cockatiel breeding aviary. so been waiting a while to get this room started all cages have pegs on every door anyways only had one pair escape but have tarp on one side and shade cloth on the other 2 so i was able to catch them before they got out. i have 28 breeding cages, 12 small cages and 4 large cages the metal ones with stands. most are full as i dont have a budgie aviary right now. also have king quail on the floor to clean up seed.

    hi all i am finally getting my birdroom built it will attach on one side to my budgie aviary. then a new aviary i bought for cockatiels will make the other side and this aviary will be next to my cockatiel breeding aviary slab has been done and its 2.5m wide by just over 8m long. i will post some pics tomorrow of before the slab and after it was laid and how it looks today. have to wait to my dad gets back from holidays on the 18th september. at the momment all my breeding cabinets and holding cages are under my patio. then i will make a safety door/ holding area for my cockatiels due to the odd shape of the slab i will have a small storage/ viewing area too hopefully i can make some sort of safety door to the budgie aviary too. right now i have moved budgies out of their aviary, moved all my non breeding cockatiels in there while i dismantle their aviary and move it to the concrete. well i will get pics later to make it clearer but so excited.
