Thanks Guys. At the moment i am breeding in My garage shed, So i am lucky to get the roof height. I was just tinking of insulating the roof to stop the extra heat from coming in. I think the height of the shed at the top of the gable is about 3.0 meters.

Hi All I have two questions. How hot is hot before you start getting deaths in nestboxes when breeding during summer in a bird room? I know outside in the aviary the budgies can with stand a 40 degree day here and there with some sprays etc. My next question is how much light is required if you keep your breeding boxes inside a shed or a enclosed area. Do they need natural light to breed well? I currently have my breeding boxes in a shed with a sky light. my original thoughts was to remove the birds from the boxes in Dec to Feb to beat the heat that way. what are peoples thoughts.
