Hello

 

I am going to post some pictures of my avairy to let everyone have a look.

I have 3 avairys at the moment, 1 is about 10 meters long by 5 meters wide by 2 meters high (It has no birds in it because it is full of mice, Im in the process of mice proofing it. The other one is a little smaller than the above and it is full of mice aswell.

The avairy I am showing you today is alot smaller, but alot better. When alot of my birds died a few months ago I moved the survivors into a cage and began turning my garden shed into a rat proof avairy. It is a very old shed as you can see by all the dints in it, its been hit by hail countless times. I've almost finished fixing some of the small gaps then it will be set. I put the birds in their a few weeks ago as the cage they were in was way to small. Their is alot of junk around it which im in the process of cleaning up so dont mind that.

 

Here it is.

^The gaps at the bottom you can see their have been cemented now.

^ front right hand side of the avairy.

^quails nests

 

 

 

 

I also have another 10 budgies in the breeding cages and I will take pictures of them later.

Most of the budgies in the avairy are australian except for bluey and jonny.

 

THanks for viewing.

 

Enjoy

I think you will have a really good set up for your birds once you have finished it. Great space and the birds look happy.

 

One suggestion...the holes up near the roof allow mice in from the roof area. They will need blocking. I know you can use steel wool to fill the holes...but the stainless kind

Looks nice, do you find the quails use those nests?

thanks.

The quails are in those nests alot but I have had no eggs as of yet. The holes where the roof joins the side are filled with steel mesh from the outside. You just scrunch it into a little ball and it fits right in. I didnt put it on the inside as it could hurt the birds.

 

Thanks for the comments

Looks good, wish I had as much space as you!

Some of the pictures did not work for some reason So I am posting them again.

^ The budgie is called freckles. The grey cockatiel is called beast and the pearl is called beauty.

 

^The budgie on the left is jekkyl and the budgie on the right is hyde.

^This is jonny, as you can see he is camera shy.

^ Right rear of the avairy.

^ This is bluey, My biggest budgie. He has a respitory problem and is now in a smaller cage to be treated.

You have a very cool setup!! I am jealous!!!

Thanks for the comments

What kind of steel mesh did you use ? Because I need to do that too

Kaz, Its wire netting and you can buy it from any hardware store. The smaller the holes the better, but if you cant get any smaller than what I have, just double it up and fold it abit more.

 

 

This is what it looks like when folded up. Have the sharp edges to the outside of the avairy.

Terrific idea. I have been trying to come up with a solution for those ceiling holes for my new birdroom. I will do like you have done. Thanks

My avairy's have changed alot since I posted this, When I find my camera I will take new pictures. I lost it somewhere

I LOVE THE SET UP ! its very big! how many bird fit in it?

I have 30 birds in it but Id say atleast 60 could fit in their happily.
