I was going to just have the breeding boxes in the room but I have changed my mind to having the breeding cages instead after I read an article that Kaz linked to this thread.

The whole thing will be an aviary. The room will have some breeding boxes/cages and perches and the outside area will be a flight area. I am going to pave the flight area to mae it easier for me to clean. Brett

Hi. Today I finished the inside with the trimming and the roof for the flight. Next is level the area ready to pave. Then I have to knock up some doors for the aviary and the safety entrance. L_J it was more to do with the timber I had it was bowed cross ways so threw my measurements a bit, but it all worked out well enough. Here's a couple more shots.

Here are a few of day two. I have a few days annual leave so I hope to get a bit more done over the next few days. Hope you like the window. It took longer than I thought. Working with timber that is not square can be frustrating but gives a nice rustic look my wife thinks. Bretto

Nadene that would be great to take the kids to. Can you tel me where and what time it starts. Is the member from Thirlmere a member on this site. Regards Brett

Thanks Nadene. They had a lot of fun in it and still do, so it was. Bit of a hard delicious to change it. But they both agreed. You are not far from us down here at Thirlmere maybe you can help when it comes time for us to get some pairs. I love the bird you have as your avitar; what colour mutation is that. Brett

Here are some shots from day One with my Senior andJunior Trainees.

how do I add photos?

Hi. I have only joined today and also today is the day I,m starting our new (first) aviary. I am turning my kids cubby into an Aviary. I had budgies when I was a kid and had always had in the back of my mind it would be something I wanted to do with my kids. We are an animal loving family with Bunnies, Cockatiel, 2 Dogs, fish and Guinea Pigs. So our house id like a Zoo a bit. I also think that a nice Aviary can really make a garden. I joined because the site looks like it has some great info and I find Forums the best way to learn about the things I'm interested in. We want to breed some budgies and all have our favourite colours, so we will start with 6 (3pairs) when the Aviary is completed. I will try to post some shots of the project as it happens and I am sure the kids and I will have some questions soon. Especially about breeding the colour and variety we like. Regards Bretto
