the aviary is finished and budgies are in a nice aviary without a saggy roof. the old aviary was built 4 years ago and i did not know much about the right materials so we used chicken wire which has sag. my next job is to take all the old wire off and repair the old aviary.

 

i have 10 budgies in the aviary, some of the birds are camera shy.

Looks great Deb :wine

I bet they are very happy Deb :wine, very nice.

I can picture you grinning from ear to ear now Deb :wine Good job.

i think it looks good although a few more perches could be good :wine

If thats a hollow log up the back there, Deb. You may find some unplanned nesting sites in it in the future :wine

I was thinking the same Kaz.

it is hard to see the perches in the photo but i have a two long perches up one end and one long perch up the other. i have a couple of overweight budgies so i have set up the aviary with no perches in the middle so they will get more exercise.

i have been very fortunate with the log, it has been in their old aviary for 3 years now and they have never nested in it.

It looks great deb, a job well done. I hope your budgies are enjoying their new home.

well done, it is very nice

Brilliant!!! You should be very proud of all your hard work. I'm sure they're going to love their new house :parrot:

Very nice :hap:.

it is smaller than the old aviary so they are having to get use to less space but it will only be for awhile. when i repair the old aviary the breeding age budgies will be in one aviary and the young ones will be in the other aviary.

Looks Great Deb , Is that a sand / dirt Base ?????

it is a sand base, the aviary has been built where my kids sand pit used to be.i know most people recommend concrete floors but i prefer natural floors. i have had an aviary for 4 years now with natural floors and never had any problems with sick budgies.i regularly clean the floors.
