Our New Aviary

These are images of the new aviary we just finished. There are still some details to polish, but the doves doesn't seem to mind. They are enjoying it so much already!

WOW , the shade cloth is a great substitute for it is light, breathable, transmit shade and sunlight and easy to cut . Speaking of which , People need to realise that this idea would be long lasting for the owner intended to house some pigeons . Do your research. Doves are not efficient for fraying this for they do not have curved beaks the way parrots do . To conclude, great job and i hope the birds are really enjoying it :)

@younesmarkiis1995 Thank you for your comment, mate! It is magnificent to watch the pigeons really fly inside this avary. They are certainly enjoying it!

:D

@CillianTheJoker What if a gum tree snaps in half and destroys my own house? Ha ha ha...

Mate, I will start worrying about it when -or if- that happens...

Enjoy life!

i just brought my second parakeet home because the first one was lonely, and the first one Autmn just started mauling the other one with love abd face cleanings X)

[simbzu]

That is ridiculously enormous.

@TheArvinian01 About $800, if I recall correctly. We just bought the materials and we built it ourselves.

[TheArvinian01]

how much did you spent in making that?

[Nannaroo17]

@mynuttybirds Yes, you're right when you say that shade cloth can be cut very easily, but here there is no chance of somebody breaking into my yard -I have four dogs- and setting the doves free. That would never happen in Australia..., not in small towns anyway. You can see kids' bicycles carelessly left on the driveway and nobody would steal them, etc.

Now, there is a campaign asking people to lock their car and not leaving the keys in the ignition!, ha ha ha...

I love Aussie Wonderland!

;)

@Nannaroo17 I think he means because shadecloth is very easy to slit open with scissors or a knife, as opposed to standard aviary wire. It's also very easy for birds to chew through. Just saying, be careful. Great frame though, I like the design.

@bangalikid Oh, we really don't have winter here. During our "winter" we could have a few nights of 4 to 6 Celsius degrees, but during the days it always goes to a very warm 25 C.

[bangalikid]

how do u keep it hot in the winter?

[Nannaroo17]

@14Raine14 Oh, I had no idea!

Sorry!

:/

@Nannaroo17 Galvanized anything can kill your birds if they put their beaks on it.

[Nannaroo17]

@TheKettavan Sorry for the very late reply, mate.

I'm not sure, to be honest. I guess you can use galvanized too, but you will have to ask at the store.

[TheKettavan]

@Nannaroo17 do you think i can buy galvanized mesh?

[Nannaroo17]

@TheKettavan At Mitre 10.

[TheKettavan]

where did you buy that mesh?

[Nannaroo17]

@greenpalaka Honestly, it wasn't that expensive: We got the door and the poles for free as "metal scrap", dumped by people.

We just bought the poles for the roof and the joints, the aviary mesh and the shade cloth.

We built it ourselves.

The most expensive thing was the permit from the council. :/

[greenpalaka]

jelous.i wish i had the money to do that

[Nannaroo17]

@poppylaw1 Thank you for your comment.

:D

Hey i like your style of aviary - i might use some of your concept on what i build. I'll pimp imine out though and heavily plant it - lots of branches, logs and perches & their beloved shelter from the wind/rain. My birds love their home - they'll go kicking & screaming till they know they went for someplace bigger than they thought was big. Good job to you.
