Hi, well i'm getting a new aviary and I was asking what would be a good size for my aviary. I am breeding budgies so I need it to be good for a decent amount of budgies. I was also wondering what else to think about when I get it, like food, branches etc. I know the basics but need any tips and easier ways to make my budgies happy.

 

Thanks

It depends how much size you want? How many birds will you have? Will you be breeding show birds or pet ones? Do you want it to double as a breeding room?

 

My first suggestion would be getting a garden shed and putting it on a cement slab ( a must for protection against mice) and either making ti double as a breeding room and flight, or just making it the main flight.

That is a very general question you asked. It is kind of like asking, what should I do with my life?

 

Let's refine the question(s). Why not start by telling us what you want to do, space you have available, finances available, perhaps the "dream" setup, and maybe a photo of the spot where it will go.

 

We can worry about accessories after we go bit by bit.

 

There are also some excellent examples on here of people who have built aviaries form the ground up. Look for them using the search function.

Hi Georgie, The Central Coast Budgie Club has its meeting on the 8th of February, its at the Tuggerah Hall , opposite Maccas and Hungry Jacks at Tuggerah , Starts about 7:30, Feel free to come along and have a chat to some members , Im sure they will give you some advice on their own setups. Theres a Service section for all your budgie needs and there will be some birds to look at also.

Cheers, Matt.

I want a fairly big cage, one to fit about 35+. I would like a double room one for flight and other breeding. I am only breeding pet budgies. Thanks for your first suggestion, I'll keep that in mind

sorry for not being descriptive enough but I don't think " It is kind of like asking, what should I do with my life" was very necassery.

 

Anyways, I was thinking of joining my existing aviary with my garden shed, halve my garden shed one for a breeding area and the other for flight, Then I would cut one end off my garden shed and make that part part of the flight as well. My existing aviary will be for young budgies. That is my idea so far. I'm not quiet sure of the finances because I'm still figuring out what I'm going to do. I will also send in some photos as soon as I figure out how to do that lol.

I think my line was perfect as it explained the point I was making perfectly. It is not an insulting line, but it was designed to make you think about what you needed.

 

This is even more clearly demonstrated with the fact that you went into greater detail about what you currently had. No one knew you had an existing aviary, or a garden shed.

 

Matt's idea is also fantastic. Join a club and learn a lot. We all started where you are now, so build on this. You will get there.
