Love the perches Kaz! brilliant idea! It's all looking so flash! you must be very proud of your work

We are doing some more work in there today. Hoping to complete at least one side to shift birds in already.

That is really looking great Kaz, I am going to make a perch set like that better than banging your head all the time

Not that hard to do Splat and also easy to modify one you already have I would say.

 

We have done the rest of the meshing for the open air popout suspended section today.

 

Now ...to do list....

 

1. fill gaps in concrete between slab and colourbond metal.

 

2. Fill any sharp edges and smaller gaps with gap filler.

 

3. Fit hatch door for access to outside fence.

 

4. Fit front wall and windows, and mesh the front window.

 

5. Make another hinged perch section for the front flight.

 

6. Clean wire.

 

7. Add feeders

 

8. Add birds.

Errk the little jobs are a pain in the butt! you are so close!! the birds will be in there before you know it :hug:

I love looking at these pictures. You are so clever. You will be very proud of the end result.

Back to work on the aviary...some new photos.

I put another piece of timber down the middle of the perching setup due to too much bounce in perches over wide distance.

 

Used garden fittings to attach.

 

the popout open air sections ( two of )

 

 

Very nice Kaz, you must be pleased.

 

What else do you have to do before birds go in?

Yes, I have volunteered to do the washing down of the aviary wire ~ even I can do that .... no hand held or electrical devices need for that!

It's coming along so nicely! Anything that is left by the time i get there, i will get stuck into it too :emoticon112:

Yes Liv is coming for another visit in a few weeks

 

 

Here is one of my new perching arrangements in the aviary....to save birds heading straight for the windows I arranged three perches ( two done one to go ) over each of the windows. I used the brackets for hanging curtain rods, attached them and drilled perches onto them so if the birds fly at the window they have somewhere to land and somewhere to be feeling the breezes through the windows too.

Curtain rod brackets are good for things like attaching perches.

 

 

 

you were right, these do look good.

Another fantastic Idea!

Great Idea Kaz. Must jot that one down for future reference...

Kaz, you're a genius! :bow:

 

Now I know what to do with my many perches that are too small to fit in my new, larger cages!!!

No reason this wouldn't work inside a regular cage, as well as an aviary. :bliss:

 

 

 

By the way, it's great watching your new aviary shape up. You must be getting pretty excited now that soon you will be putting the birds in. They are so going to love it in there!

If it werent for the deaths of my father and father in law over the past fortnight or so, I am sure I would be ecstatic But its taken the edge off it a bit. I will try and get excited watching each bird find its wings and enjoy the space

Its so close I can taste it

Looking great Kaz have to say I my be a bit jealous of your set up just one question have you fix the perch to the curtain hooks they may spin and jam others toes just a thought you done really well pat on the back for you and Ken
