April 4, 200817 yr Auction of this Sunday at Wynnum if you are interested. I'll be there hoping to get a couple of birds.... hoping is the word too. :rip: Might put in a phone bid for 25 and 26 Hanno hens!
April 4, 200817 yr YAY Zeh plan is almost complete!! MUHHAHHAHA Excuse indigo's sugar rush EXCITEYMENTNESSS!! ♥Indz
April 4, 200817 yr Author Just came in from outside. The dark beat me. The base is down and fixed and the complete aviary frame is finished except for the mesh. Going to be tied up over the weekend so wont get to completely finish it until next week. I never knew I had so many muscles that could all ache at the same time. Was a bit difficult on my own. Edited April 4, 200817 yr by Derek
April 4, 200817 yr It is surprising how many muscles you actually have... but you never seem to know they are there until they are aching!! Have yourself a nice hot bath and a beer! Sounds like you deserve it. Good work!
April 5, 200817 yr Author Managed to get home early enough to take a few photos. Here is the result of yesterdays work. The base frame is treated pine and the timber floor is formply. The base is held down by two veranda posts concreted in and bolted to the frame. As you can see I had to lift one end for the flow of the ground. This makes it not sealed at the bottom so vermin can't hide underneath. Still a few screws to go in around the aviary then the mesh goes on. Trying to work out how I can put a few breeding cabinets at the back. Seems there may be room so working on it. Might make a seperator out of the same aluminium Daz did his flights with. Have seen it at Bunnings. Looking good.
April 5, 200817 yr Derek when I started I had the Breeding cabinets under the pergola away from the flight. Just an Idea. My first flight. http://i8.photobucket.com/albums/a26/darrylw/Budgie007.jpg My first Nursery My first Breeding cabinets. These sat on a table under the pergola. Edited April 5, 200817 yr by Daz
April 5, 200817 yr Author I don't have a pergola where I can do that. Need to do some measuring in the next few days as I think I can partition a section off the back of the aviary with a door where I can set up six cabinets just like in your photo above.
April 5, 200817 yr Looks like things are moving along for you! Thats great! Look forward to seeing what you work out for the breeding boxes...
April 5, 200817 yr Author Been out the back with a torch and a tape to try and work out what to do. The aviary isn't deep enough to put a divider in with breeding cabinets behind it so I am back to square one. I know I can just put them against the back wall and leave the whole area open. I did this in my last aviary and it seemed to work. Then again I most likely did a lot of things back then that wouldn't be considered right these days. Problems

(Laughing out loud)... Good luck with your problem. I'm sure you'll think of something.
April 5, 200817 yr Woo Hoo Looing Good ..... If it worked Derek Why change .... Like they say IF IT AIN'T BROKE WHY FIX IT ........ I hope it all comes together for you mate ....
April 6, 200817 yr Author Have worked it out. Just spent a couple of hours building a frame that I can divide the back section of the aviary off. I can place the breeding cabinets behind it. Has a large opening door so that I can access the breeding cabinets but the rest of the budgies cant. I have room for six breeding cabinets at the back of the aviary now. :yellowhead: I start to mesh it all tomorrow. Now I need some breeding cages. Damn I hate woodwork. Anyone got any for sale to save me the heartache of crooked sides and backs. :yellowhead: Photos tomorrow as it's dark
