November 25, 200915 yr I think I have decided to cover in more of the external wall of the birdroom and just use one door to the flights not two. It limits what walls I can use inside the birdroom by having double doors to the flights. The double doors were originally due to the original plans for the flights going the other way. I dont need double doors now. So I will remove that extra door and sheet over that opening. mmmm Can't see it in my mind ... Photos?

November 27, 200915 yr Author okay got it now! Does that mean the only access to flights will be via breeding room? Yes...this is deliberate............additional security Last night and today saw all remaining adult birds sorted out from the other aviary and breeding room into their new flight alongside the babies flight. I was a little concerned for my one legged budgie PEGLEG PETE as he seemed to not know where he was meant to go, but it didnt take him long....he looked around...flew to the wire in the middle, then across to the horizontal beam behind the perches, then straight onto a top perch........no flies on that boy Sorted more budgies out for the auction coming up, and others went for free to RIP, and the leftovers are being sold later over the next couple of days. None are being shipped. All done and dusted looking a little empty in there ....better get an advance on my xmas spending money for the upcoming auction Still some birds in the breeding room Edited November 27, 200915 yr by KAZ
November 27, 200915 yr Well it was a pleasure to stand in Kazza's aviary. The birds are happy and there are some wonderful looking youngsters there. Kazza took me verge collecting. Got some dowel for perches. I'll never be the same after that experience, it is always something I avoided. My youngest Brodie does enough for the family. I deeply appreciate the birds given to me and I will attempt to extract (nicely of course) all possible genetic material. Lets see where we end up. Kaz your a champ
November 27, 200915 yr Looks very good Kaz. Don't rush to fill it up - you are doing a great job as it is.

I dont need double doors now. So I will remove that extra door and sheet over that opening. Closed in that section today so I have only the one door going into the aviary and now I can finish the inner wall lining and move the breeding cages around in there and set it out better
December 2, 200915 yr Author Was cleaning day today in the flights.....do it twice a week if I can. I use a scraper on a handle for the floor. Easy since the concrete floor is so smooth. A few quicks scrapes with that, then I move the industrial vacuum cleaner in and vacuum up the seed debris and droppings that have been scraped into a pile. My scraper
December 2, 200915 yr YOUNGSTERS FLIGHT TODAY ADULTS FLIGHT TODAY Looks really good, plenty of room for them to exercise. I like your idea of putting rings on the perches for them to play with, haven't seen that before. I'll have to go through what's left of the kids baby toys and see if I can find something similar for my baby cage.
