I have this little aviary which is empty and doing nothing and i am considdering converting it into 2 breeding cabinets.... I am after some advice on if it would work and the best way to do it

 

Here is the aviary

 

 

It is 90cm deep, 100cm high and 120cm long.

 

 

Here are 2 floor plans I drew up (nb = nestbox)

 

In this first plan the safty area would be 45 cm wide by 60cm long - good thing I am little because it's just big enough for me to squeeze into hehe

 

Breeding cage 1 would be 45cm wide and 90cm long by 100cm high

 

Breeding cage 2 would be L shaped with 30cm at the narrow end and 60cm at the wide end. 90cm long and 100cm high.

 

 

 

 

In this plan the safty area is a more comfortable 90cm long by 60cm wide - i will be able to sit, rather than squat haha but this is not about my comfort here

 

Breeding cage 1 and 2 will both be 45cm wide, by 60cm long and 100cm high

 

 

I am open to any surgestions/changes/critisisiums etc hehe

 

Thanks

The second one might be the best Liv, it would be a lot easier to divide I would think.

Looks good Liv... my only idea would be to have them on top of each other... So the last sketch, so each one would be 90cm wide, 50 cm high and 60cm long. I don't think the hight being reduced from 100-50cm would be an issue, and having that extra width, would allow more movement. If they were like this too, both cages would have access to the wire side (sunlight/fresh air). Up to you though luv. Can't wait to see what it looks like done and filled

Thats a good idea Maesie

I think No2 is the best idea, suggestion though change the nest boxes so the aren't next to each other???

But Great blue prints I should get you to do mine lol

i agree with maesie, it should be a neat litle place when you are done.

Liv, did you ever finish this?

No, it was better to just buy wire cages than try to tamper with this one. I use this one as a nappy cage as its a great size for the chicks

Sounds good
