How is the build going Kaz? Any further progress?

Ken is still preparing the area and dragging the materials around to the back. We wait for a friend who has offered to help. But we may have to proceed alone as Kens holidays are running out.

We have started attaching all the framework to the existing birdroom and doing the support legs etc.

Its slow going as ken has a foot injury anjd ladders dont agree with him. We have removed the exterior panels from the birdroom and we are putting up the framewortk for the patio section we will be making the flights out of. Hopefully tomorrow the framework will be done. We were out chasing up parts today and concrete etc.

View down backyard, showing the birdroom on the left ( as per drawing ) and the gap that will be the front of the flights, with the smaller aviary to the right and Kens aviary further over to the right. Excuse demolition site :wub:

That's looking fantastic KAZ! Keep on going. :)

Its slow going JB ;) My husband has a foot injury that slows him down and makes it hard for ladder work. And I am trying to acchieve a backlog of leadlight work that piled up while I was sick. We will get there.

The window like areas each side of the double doors will have cartoonic style budgies done in real leadlight in them. The wood you see is temporary to stop any possible budgie escapes from the birdroom while we work. I have a skyblue cock called HOUDINI who escapes the breeder cage any chance he can. He is the father to all my normal skyblueblue and YF skyblue babies in my kindie cage baby topic.

I expect I will have room for about 350 to fly about. BUT I dont put nests in there. Thats colony style breeding which I dont do.

It will depend on what kind of roofing and walls we do. There will also be an area at the fence end far left that will be open roof for sunbathing for the budgies ^_^
